Anthony Scirrotto Critiques Jack Torrance's Door Busting

"When it comes to breaking down doors, I'm a naturalist. I only use what God gave me. I don't like the implementation of axes for door busting. I think it cheapens our sport. I mean, I get it why firemen do it, but even in a matter of life and death, I think you've got two feet and two shoulders, and if that isn't enough to get the job done, then maybe you should think about that. Even aside from the equipment aspect, I think Jack makes a mistake with how much he's using his back. When I bust down a door, it's mainly my lower body pushing my shoulder through the door. Jack has his torque all screwed up in my opinion. What he's not taking into consideration is, yeah, you busted down the door with your axe, but now that you've made it inside, what if there's a scuffle? Your back is shot, and now the tables may get turned. And that's the saddest thing about home invasion--when people bust other peoples' doors down, they don't think about what happens when they get inside. So, yeah, an axe seems like a nice neat way to get into somebody's place, but it's actually fairly impractical. Leave it to Hollywood, though, right?"
