How to win a Debate over philosopher Immanuel Kant

[jeff of pa]

MOSCOW (AP) — An argument in southern Russia over philosopher Immanuel Kant, the author of "Critique of Pure Reason," devolved into pure mayhem when one debater shot the other.
A police spokeswoman in Rostov-on Don, Viktoria Safarova, said two men in their 20s were discussing Kant as they stood in line to buy beer at a small store on Sunday. The discussion deteriorated into a fistfight and one participant pulled out a small nonlethal pistol and fired repeatedly.

The victim was hospitalized with injuries that were not life-threatening. Neither person was identified.
It was not clear which of Kant's ideas may have triggered the violence.

If you can't defend your views intellectually, get violent! Worked in that case.

I was thinking starter pistol .

will burn ya at close range but you'd need to be really frail,
or easily scared to death, in order to be lethal
