What part of un-holstering your weapon, pointing it at said felonious bastard, pulling the trigger a few times, etc, is 'enjoying a peaceful lunch?'
Unless, of course, you do it all with one hand, while stuffing a big nasty grease wad in your face with the other...
Fast Food is nasty.
OK first, I am not growling or lashing out with the following:
No part of it at all. That was my point. I was simply putting the thought forward that if you were seeking to find/shoot a "Bad Guy" and that, rather than just lunch was the reason you were there, (as in my example quoting the slogan of the place might suggest) then this would NOT be even remotely reasonable.
Beyond that, It was a joke. A stupid one to be sure, but just a joke.
I agree that fast food is nasty on the whole, and I think that no matter where this occurred, if the "hero" shooter was simply out looking for a reason to shoot he is in need of serious mental health evaluation, but if by sheer happenstance you walked into this situation and had to shoot to prevent violence then I'm on your side.
I do not see where the need for devil's advocacy enters for my post, apart from perhaps critique of my sense of humor, though I can see it in response to the scenario introduced in the OP. My own response was to be silly, rather than to frame or resolve a debate.
