And yes I'd say that's probably a good idea Not the start to the season I'd hoped for

They didn't shoot him dead in cold blood. They shot a man who was carrying an illegal firearm, so clearly the intent was there for him to use it. He could have been pointing it at them, we don't know what happened yet. Even if it was in his sock, he was still in possession. It doesn't matter if he was carrying it in a basket on his head. Like I said, we don't know the full story yet, but people are still siding with the criminal - the man was was equipped with an illegal firearm. What's more, he probably had not much of an idea how to use it safely because you can't go and learn that stuff at a gun club now because handguns were made illegal. They were made illegal because of criminals with unlicenced guns, shooting members of the public.

No, not the start I'd hoped for either. I was beginning to settle for a draw... I might have known those boys would break my heart again. What's to be done?
