Was This Shooting Justified?

[Crepitus]

She was. Were you not paying attention?

No one at the head for a bloodthirsty mob is unarmed.

It's just a fact.

Deal with it.

Except for her of course. She wasn't armed. You should have known that.

 

[Crepitus]

"bloodthirsty" wow. Extra dose of Kool-Aid today?

We all watched it live on TV.

Attempting to minimize it just makes you look stupid.

Well, stupider...

An MSN (edited?) vid ain't enough to make a judgment call on a murder. Too bad Ashli Babbitt's Jan 6 killing didn't have the same consideration.

I assume you think that way about Charlie Kirk as well.

Signature of your cult - words no longer have any meaning.

You’d be wrong again.

Excuse me? Stupider? You're calling him stupid and talking like a first grader? Grow up!!

Oh look! You’re wrong again

Shocking

Are 'stupider' and 'stupidest' real words?

They don't to you, that seems clear.

It's the comparative form of the adjective, stupid.

For me I would have to say no. The man was unarmed and nobody's life was in danger.

I'm torn on this one.

You have an armed security guard on premises and a guy stealing from the proprietor. He is stealing in spite of the security guard on his belief (and experience) that there will be no will to stop him if he resists arrest. The guard used every non lethal means available to stop the thief it would seem.

So if the guard is to be charged with murder for shooting the thief who refused to stop fighting him and who was determined to leave with stolen merchandise, why have security guards at all?

We either have the right to protect and defend our property or the thieves have full license to take whatever they want. Meaning that the thieves can put anybody out of business once the insurance companies get tired of paying for multiple thefts and burglaries and will no longer insure the property owner.

So if I can't shoot the intruder/would be burglar entering my home, just because I cannot see a weapon carried by the burglar, what protection/self defense do I really have?

Same in my place of business.

So again I am torn on this one. I don't want us ever to be casual or blase' about shooting criminals. But neither do I want us to have to be victims to any criminal because we are not allowed to do what we have to do to protect our property and our persons.
