I saw a quote once that went something like "Always assume that the enemy is better than you." (I do belive that was in Red Storm Rising... ) It isn't something I'd live by but it's something to think about.

I think the "Never underestimate anyone or what they are capable of" is a better quote. I haven't had any formal self defense training or any of that. I took a couple years of karate and that's about it. I don't underestimate people. I've seen some pretty surprising things come from people who I didn't think they had it in them. There are also people who fit the bill perfectly...


One of my favorite quotes (If I had any. The one in my sig is pretty good. My baseball coach told me that one...but that's a completely different story.) is the "Assumption leads to failure." I've done it. I'm sure you've done it....we've all done it. Everybody has made a bad assumption. It isn't always something life-threatening or dangerous but it happens...

Have they stopped frisking suspects for weapons?

Ya never bring a kanife to a kagun fight.

It didn't say he was a suspect. It said he was being questioned. I've been questioned by the police, usually to find if I saw anything. I wasn't frisked.

And apparently the guy has a history of violent outbursts.

I guess the guy had something to hide or was extremely paranoid, at least with him dead it'll be easier to search his residence. If he had a pc he didn't have a chance to erase/delete anything, even though things can still be recovered if he had.
