Trying To Stop a Fight in a McDonald's Can Get You Shot To Death

In Britain.  From April 21, 2011 Mirror:

A DAD-of-four who split up a fight in a McDonald’s was shot dead moments after being told he wouldn’t see the morning.

Raymond Mitchell, 34, had only popped into the restaurant to buy a hot chocolate.

But he apparently caused offence after splitting up two men fighting in the queue.
One of them, who had several gold teeth, shouted at Raymond: “You are gonna die tonight, you are not gonna see the morning.”

I notice that I do not hear gun control advocates giving Britain as an example of the effectiveness of very strict gun control laws anymore.  I wonder why?

    Thugs. I Noticed how the article doesn't mention the ethnicity of the shooters. This is what the death penalty is for. People like that don't deserve to exist. The sad thing is this will just prompt more gun control. People need to be able to defense themselves and western society is consistently restricting our ability to do it makes me sick.

    I am not sure how much more gun control Britain can get!

    I just reading the bbc about another McDonald's fight where two girls beat a person up in the restaurant in Baltimore. Here I now just ten minutes later reading an American written blog about a McDonald's fight in Britain. Hilarious.

    Powerful example that outlaws don't obey the law. How shocking! If we outlaw guns then they will be the only ones to have them. More shocking - some people on this planet have been encultured with the belief that murder is justified by emotion. Could the world be any more messed up?

    Knowing Yob Culture, at least one of them was probably white. Of course, the gun control laws didn't get rid of Britain's gangs.
