Well, the ref didn't have a gun, that we know about, so maybe it's just having a penis. We need to keep them out of the hands of criminals too...only the police should have penises.

You were kidding about rape, right?

Considering he flattened Derkotch, I think we can be certain he was aware it could get violent. So Derkotch is at fault for not retreating...still blaming the victim, I see. Derkotch is more guilty for having a gun he didn't fire than his assailant was for having a fist he did. Yes, indeed, by all means let's go back to the days when muscle and size made might.

To a certain extent (no pun intended) a gun is a penis. Just ask Freud. Hmmm. That explains a lot.
