Guess I posted this in the wrong place last time. So I'll post with a question.

Turlock man kills child in roadside beating

Given the details would you have tried to restrain the guy first or gone strait for the use of deadly force? Personally I'd warn him to stop and if he didn't and I had a clear shot I'd shoot. Interested to hear other opinons.

I'd draw tell him to stop if he didn't I'd start shooting at the knees and work my way up til he quit twitching

Wasn't posted in the wrong place, it was just already running on here. As far as your question, I would have ordered him to stop. If he did not stop immediately, I would have ended the threat immediately.

+1 order him to stop...he doesn't comply...take the shot. This kind of thing makes me sick.

Order him to stop hurting the child.......at least as many 165gr. .40's to force him to stop..........breathing.......I mean, to stop hurting that child.

"....... fighting off passers-by who tried to stop him, until he was gunned down by a police officer whose helicopter landed in a nearby pasture, police said Sunday."

"The suspect "had tunnel vision," said Stanislaus County sheriff's Deputy Royjindar Singh, a department spokesman. "As people tried to intervene, to tackle him, he just went back to what he was doing. Anything and everything he could do to the baby, that's what he was doing."

It's obvious no passerby's were armed, but NOBODY could get between the baby and that O2 waster?

Ignore me.......I'm just ranting.

Yelling "STOP" while drawing the P30
if he didn't comply immediately, I'd have shot him without hesitation.

Agreed. Order to stop immediately. Non-compliance followed by as many of these as necessary:

Shooting to wound will get you in a load of trouble! Notice that a cop will never do this. They shoot to stop the threat (kill). If you shoot someone with the intent to wound you better have a lot of money and free time for the lawyer fees and jail time. Shouldn't be that way, but it is.

As far as would I shoot...yes. I'd verbally warn to stop, then warn that I'll shoot if he doesn't stop, then shoot to stop. Still cost a pretty penny in lawyers fees just to keep it out of court, but it is the right thing to do. Protecting a child...that is a no-brainer. Too bad it ended the way it did. This world is getting screwed up!
