What if his neighbor was his best friend or brother-in-law? Lawbreakers take a risk when they tresspass and burgle.
The day we use the law to reward criminals and put citicizens who stand against them in prison for their stance, is the day that America is no longer free from the tyrrany of men. How dare anyone insinuate that violations of the law shouldn't matter to someone just because they didn't happen to you? Oh, that woman was just getting raped. It was none of my business, she wasn't even related to me, so I called the police and waited. Don't commit trespass in a southern state and then run when someone has a gun on you. They can and probably should shoot you for free. That's the bottom line here. Anything else is simply ideology.
How can someone set back and judge(not you, the other guy) "Oh he should have shot him in the leg." The man thought his life was in danger. Are you seriously telling him to "Shoot to wound." None of us know the whole situation, so we shouldn't use what we think we woulda or shoulda done to be our stick of what this guy did. He said he thought his life was in danger, I believe him. Have no reason not to. If you have a gun on someone who is close to you and they bolt, if they did bolt towards you, you better shoot, or you are DEAD. Details here don't matter as much as the fact that the man says he was afraid for his life, the shooting obviously wasn't pre-meditated, and there was no motive. Unless you just assume the guy is a psycho with no real evidence, you would have to let him go also, if you were on the jury, or you'd be breaking the law yourself. |
That is so true and what it seems every some called American here seems to have forgotten and it rather pathetic top see. Seems some of us should re-evaluate what it means to be an American.
We, should, have the right to defend one's nation and the citizen's of it from tyrany and evil without fear of being looked down upon as a criminal like the one you defended individual freedom and safety from.
