When all of those terrorizing unsuspecting people videos were so hot, I always wondered how long it would be before somebody got shot.

And it's not like there wasn't warning in popular culture . . . even Hill Street Blues had an episode revolving around the victim shooting back. (And if I'm aware of that, there must have been more.)
