I don’t care what the courts say. These gun nuts (murderers, really) should be thrown in jail for a long time. I’ve always said that if someone doesn’t pose a risk or reoffending, then jail is usually a waste of time. That remains true, but these gun nuts DO pose a huge risk of reoffending. Gun nuts should probably be thrown in jail preemptively, for the good of society.
Looks like they were leaving the driveway. You have to be pretty sick to defend this murder.
Funny how people look at property differently. I never looked at my property that I could do whatever I wanted. I look at is a piece of land on earth that I should be allowed to live on, without authority kicking me out. The whole self defense thing because of personal property is meaningless. If I’m scared for my life, I don’t care where I am or if I’m on my own property or a public property. I think I would act the same.
I believe in the concept of protecting my property. If someone heads to my car with a hammer looking like he’s going to start smashing it, I am going to physically try to stop him. The idea that I can shoot random strangers who approach my car, however, is obviously absurd. Anyone defending this recent string of gun-nut shootings in the US has serious mental issues.
Right. I suppose I’m talking about home property. In the case of your car, it wouldn’t matter if it was in your driveway, your own parking spot, or parked in a lot at the market.
One is private. One is public. I don’t care either way.
Michele, don’t try and justify this recent raft of murders with such a ridiculous example. These victims weren’t shooting anyone. They were playing basketball, and driving into the wrong driveway and immediately turning around and leaving. They were totally innocent when gun nuts murdered them.
Exactly. RWNJs keep telling us that if everyone had a gun, there would be no gun violence because the attackers would get killed. That nonsense doesn’t survive even the most casual scrutiny.
