Well, are you punk?

I can't believe nobody beat me to this.

Mr. Forrest turns and walks away.”

This is another aspect in this kind of situation though. While I understand JIMGA's desire to pursue, there's a pretty high chance of "finding" the wrong guy in cases like this. With adrenaline flowing, and human beings' faulty memories (studies have shown how poorly we remember things from intense events like this) it seems there's probably a good chance of accidentally gunning down the wrong guy "in self defense." Just another variable to consider.
