    So…we needed…some bad guys with guns to…save this guy…from shooting…himself. By shooting him first. Am I doing this right?

      At least nobody stole his trash, which was bound to happen if he had been unarmed.

      I mean, I this case the problem (improper and irresponsible use of a firearm) kind of fixed itself, didn’t it?
