RE: Stand Your Ground Law - Nately120 - 08-02-2018 Good ol' America...where we desire hands-off parenting where kids can fight it out like we did in the good ol' days, but as soon as your turn 18 you can shoot someone who pushes you.

When I read that, I was like, "That's it? You don't have an actual reason? Just that different people have different opinions and somehow that makes your decision okay? Like, wtf?"

Absolutely...the victim's fault for not thinking about the mental state of the guy yelling at the mother of his children. That's the biggest take away from this article. ![]() RE: Stand Your Ground Law - Beaker - 08-08-2018 (08-08-2018, 09:19 PM)GMDino Wrote: Absolutely...the victim's fault for not thinking about the mental state of the guy yelling at the mother of his children.

Finally! Now please convince my wife that standing there doing nothing while a strange man screamed at her was the right thing to do.

Especially if she started it. RE: Stand Your Ground Law - Beaker - 08-08-2018 (08-08-2018, 09:32 PM)Nately120 Wrote: Finally!

Tell your wife not to let you park in the handicapped space in the first place you lazy, entitled S.O.B.

Makes sense. So now that we've figured that parking in a handicapped spot is a logical first move towards death, what do we do about those people who put their 4 ways on and then sit in places where they shouldn't be? Also, some old guy cut in line when we were waiting at the deli counter at Wal Mart. Is that guy lucky he got to walk out of there alive that day? It's 2018, we have decided we hate political correctness, but getting into life-ending altercations over breeches of etiquette is just fine, too. This is confusing.

No, now we say people are stupid AND insane....and can have guns. So being cautious of some random yelling person is smarter than running up and shoving them to the ground. Just because someone else is being stupid, intrusive and indecent to you or a loved one doesn't mean that automatically requires indecent physical retaliation in return. Be the smarter bigger person. Maybe being taught that might start to change the crap show or society is turning into.

Teach people to be meek and walk away from anyone threatening them so they don't get themselves killed at no fault to the shooter. ![]() RE: Stand Your Ground Law - Beaker - 08-09-2018 (08-09-2018, 10:43 AM)GMDino Wrote: Exactly.

Teach people to be meek and walk away from anyone threatening them so they don't get themselves killed at no fault to the shooter. The shooter falls under the stupid and insane part of my post. So yeah, he should have been taught that, but was probably too stupid and insane to have learned or listened to that part of any training. Are you saying that physical assault is an equal and appropriate response to verbal assault? Based upon your video posted in the other thread of the black kid and the cop at waffle house I don't believe you think so. But you sure come across as thinking it was warranted in this case by the way you keep saying the guy who got shot was totally blameless.

If we're working with the premise that people acting insane in public are likely to be armed, then shouldn't I have a reasonable fear that they are just as likely to attack the mother and child? I feel like most men will put the safety of their partner and children before their own. But she was in a handicapped spot so let's use more charged language to describe her than the murderer with the history of endangering children and threatening people whenever he gets upset with their safe driving.

I'm saying shooting someone who is defending themself (or the mother of their children) is not the appropriate response. Rather than saying someone deserves to be shot for such a defense as you are saying. I also say that police officers have MORE or a duty to keep from using excessive physical force (if you want to bring that old post back up). Because anyone who then responds will be charged with "resisting" and whatever striking an officer would be. And, again since you went there, I always feel officers need held to an eve higher standard than regular citizens as they have the ability to take away your property, freedom and life. However just keep saying we should be meek and afraid of all the crazy people (even if we don't know they are crazy) so that we don't get ourselves shot with no blame on the shooter who was just "defending themselves". It's a good look. ![]() RE: Stand Your Ground Law - Beaker - 08-09-2018 (08-09-2018, 10:58 AM)GMDino Wrote: Rather than saying someone deserves to be shot for such a defense as you are saying. Not at all what I said and you know that full well going back through this thread. I have always maintained the guy didn't deserve to be shot, but he is not a totally blameless victim as you seem to be trying to maintain.

I agree that officers have a duty to be held to a higher standard. But that doesn't change the point that physical assault is still not an equal response to verbal assault. A point which you seem to agree with based upon that post.

It's a good look. That was very fred of you. Smarter and aware that there are idiots out there equates to meek and afraid. And if some random guy is yelling at my wife, I may question his mental stability in my mind....even though "(we don't know if theyre crazy)". |
