[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6919650, member: 6701872"] Much like it would be less debated (though I'd wager still debated, rather than not debated at all) if people saw what happened at the table with as much detail as would be present "on tape", rather than having numerous blanks to fill in as desired while hearing one side - and not even all the detail possible of that one side - of the story, described after the fact. Perspective is the exact reason there is a disagreement going on in this thread. One perspective is that this was a cold-blooded execution of a non-threatening individual delivered after the clear conclusion of a bar brawl. Another perspective is that this was a heat of the moment retaliation against a foe that brought a tool of killing into the mix and thought nothing of it, but changed their tune as soon as their lethal weapon was in the hands of their intended victim, falling to their knees and asking the person they just attempted to kill - because that's what coming at someone with a sword looks like to said someone - to give them better treatment than that which they seemed intent to give.
