I wonder how many kids who could have grown up into pilots have been
chased away by this slug and others like him.

Even worse, I wonder how many kids watched him, admired him, and want to
grow up to be like HIM? Grand Theft Auto meet baton wielding Trailer Trash

Lots - and from reading your post, as nobody took steps to report him,
probably lots more in the future.

If I was there with my daughter, and he started coming at me and my daughter
with a baton, I would have to consider doing a double tap, and one. Although
your way was for the best.

I took my daughter to Linden Airport (that's in New Jersey). We stood
with a small crowd at the fence on the shopping mall side as planes
took off and landed. (This is where I got my interest in flying many
years ago.)

....
The police never came, but the guard came back, more belligerent than
before. Now he started shouting at the crowd and reaching for his
baton. I told him, "You hit me, and my lawyer will eat you for

Enlighten the group, as to what a "double tap" is, please?

As others have indicated, double tap refers to two shots fired body center
mass in rapid succession, followed up by one shot to the head (in case there
is body armor in play). This is standard defensive shooting methodology.
I've carried concealed for over thirty years, and fortunately have never had
to draw a weapon in defense, and hope I never have to. I have had several
times that I have had to "consider" it. If I was confronted with an enraged
man with a club (technically assault), coming at my daughter and myself, I
would have to "consider" my options, before battery resulted from the
assailant.

It doesn't sound like it got close to that point, only pointing out that if
the mall cop, (who I don't "believe" has any more legal standing than any
one else), kept coming with a club, then someone who could defend
themselves, may just do that.

A couple other points, it could be that he was just following orders from
his management. It could be that he really thought he was doing good for his
country; just misguided. It could be, like many sheeple, he lives in fear of
the boogeyman. Or he could just be a dickhead.

No, when a double tap is followed by a shot to the head it is a Mozambique.

The fact that he left and then returned indicates to me that he was. I suspect
he headed over to the office to ask management what to do.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.
