40 to 50 "youths".
I'm thinking a belt-fed weapon.

Re: A reason to carry 17 round mags
Of course, once the first couple of shots rang out and the first target went down, how many of those 40 or 50 yoots would press the attack and how many would break and run at the first sign of active, fatal resistance?
...even before I read MHI, my response to seeing a poster for the stars of the latest Twilight movies was "I see 2 targets and a collaborator".

My partner upon recognizing the dominant personality adjusts aim and say:

Heck, my partner wasn't even the first to have said that. He heard it from our collective mentor who also used it on a white supremacist group, not sure which one though.
Although, as it turns out, when he told us the story with 'cupcake' at the end, that was embellishment, while my partner actually said it.

Great, beat up a guy who is already working a full plate without proper utensils.
Its bad enough if they try to jump one of us (fairly fully functional
). But terrorizing someone who is physically, emotionally or mentally handicapped is just SO wrong. I guess it goes, under they know they can't properly fight back (have a gun). Bastards.
In Florida, the law says I can still use deadly force (as a bystander) to save the disabled guy.
Can you in your state?
