    his companion was beating the shit out of the guy. what exactly would the companion have accomplished by jumping in? maybe turn the public against them by piling on, getting some punches in against a guy already getting his ass kicked?

    i keep hearing this, but honestly don't understand the sentiment.

      I was mugged with a knife to my throat while my 6' 6" buff comp. just stood there slack jawed and dumbfounded. I still have the scar.

        Agreed, but, in response to smr, once your company makes that decision for both of you, you cover his back and make sure that someone else doesn't come in from the other direction. He was opossuming over there.

          you'd be hard pressed to find anybody who disagrees with that. problem is, at it relates to how we judge this specific incident, that didn't happen.

            Fighting against a knife is not the wisest of moves, no matter your size. Neither is confronting somebody with a gun.

              DesNews article states "the person who uploaded the video on a Facebook page said the missionary who fought back was an American" which implies the other one was, I guess, non-American.

                  We had a guy on our mission who got robbed and afterwards went out and got a gun. He carried it around for a couple of weeks before we talked him into getting rid of it.

                    Interesting article about carpet in lds meetinghouses.

                    Still, I don’t know a single Mormon who prefers playing basketball on carpet. A cursory survey of my friends drew a spectrum of opinions from “It’s bad, but it’s also still basketball, I guess”—a resounding endorsement—to “Satan scourges us with it, for our sins.”

                        One of the victims of the London terrorist attack was from Utah...

                        Man Visiting LDS Temple Missionaries in London Killed in Westminster Attack

                        Kurt and Melissa Cochran, a Utah couple celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary with a European vacation, were in London this week visiting Melissa’s parents, who are serving as temple missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.


                        When a man ran a vehicle into a crowd of pedestrians on London’s Westminster Bridge in what is being speculated as a terrorist act, the Cochran’s were among the first injured. Sadly, Kurt died from his injured while Melissa remains in the hospital, critically wounded. According to a GoFundMe account set up by the family, the couple was self-employed, having spent the last decade building a recording studio business from the ground up. They were generous in donating their time to worthy causes, such as donating their recording and sound skills to the Bountiful, Utah, Summerfest celebration.


                        Clint Payne, Melissa’s brother, issued the following statement on social media:


                        Our hearts are broken this day as we say good-bye to our dear brother-in-law Kurt. He passed away from the injuries sustained in the London terrorist attack yesterday. We love him so much and will never forget him. My sister, Melissa, sustained a broken leg, broken rib and a cut to her head. We are grateful that she will recover. Our hearts ache for her and their children in losing their loving companion and father. Please continue to pray for our family. Thank you.

                              She definitely sounds Mormon:

                              “It’s gone to heck,” Ayla says in perhaps the most Mormon comment ever uttered from within the alt-right.

                                So if she isn't excommunicated, I wonder how it will be justified leaving her alone while going after Kelly and Dehlin.

                                I'd say what she is advocating for is much more damaging than either Dehlin or Kelly.

                                By the way this awful woman has a I'm a Mormon profile.
