water is lethal too in the right quantities. doesn't mean you shoot someone with a water balloon.who gives a shit about your beliefs about what sharia does or does not do? that's not what we're talking about.Proving guilt before carrying out justice seems to suggest a Western standard of jurisprudence. Where in sharia are such precepts as discovery, trial by jury, evidedenciary hearings provided for?
Lastly, rock throwing can be lethal, to the throw'ee and now to the Arab throw'er.
i'm asking you why you think it's okay to shoot someone for a non-lethal crime, a crime in which it's possible there was not even injury, and a crime for which evidence is not always available after the fact
Non lethal? I guess all those people getting stoned to death by the Muslim extremists aren't really dead then....
Non-sequitur much? I've been hit with untold numbers of water balloons. They don't seem to hurt much. Rocks are lethal. ARWEN isn't. For all of its menacing look it was DESIGNED to not kill. Trust me. You would far rather be shot by a baton round from ARWEN than hit by a rock.
The ones used by the British in N.I. were fired from a short barrel shotgun and tumbled in flight. A trick used was to fire at the ground in front of the terrorists and have the 12 inch baton round break apart and disable more than one person. This also made them lethal so the army banned their use in this manner.
It's not a trick, it's actually a requirement to reduce the velocity of the projectile to ensure it does not cause damage. If fired at short range at someone's head there is a small chance that the hit could be lethal.
When the target is too close the operator is supposed to bounce it off the ground.
