Or I could just assume I'm discussing things with an adult who understands what's being discussed.

I didn't ignore it, I asked for clarification.  You don't have to bust windows or enter a building to set it on fire.  Hence my question.

Quote:As to the last question, I'd say use rubber bullets if you have them. If "the mob" is throwing torches at the building from outside then I'd say 
no, don't shoot them--unless you've got some rubber bullerts.

So, based on this logic you'd have to conclude that the use of lethal force on Babbit was not warranted.  She was certainly less of a danger than a person throwing a Molotov cocktail at an occupied building.


Geez, Dill. It's almost like we're discovering how difficult it is for LEO's to make these types of split second decisions.  You can't be consistent in this regard with hours to mull the scenario over.
