1. You have a right to shoot in self defense, but shooting a man that is down on the ground and no longer a threat is a red flag for a presecutor, especially if someone was stealing from him and not threatening his life.

    I like automatics. Get off three rounds before they hit the ground.
  2. was a hypothetical. you should be able to explode his head like a grapefruit then punt it across the room if he enters your home.

  3. But if it went all exploded grapefruit would there really be anything there to punt? Gray matter maybe? I see you working and I'm with you, I'm just not sure how this would work.
  4. well there would still be part of the head left like a deflated balloon. you could kind of throw it with your foot to your dog or play partner.
  5. The "REAL" problem is those damn video cameras
  6. I'm thinking temporary sanity should be a good enough defense.
  7. i was surprised the jury didnt give him a lesser sentence and conviction such as manslaughter. but after all the evidence, the jury went murder. (given what i know, i think my vote would have been the lesser charge of manslaughter, because at that point it was not self defense.)

    they saw the video, i havent. i would guess that the video is what did it. i can understand the charges by the da if going strictly by the law. but given the jury also had the option of a lesser crime in their conviction, and didnt hand down that, something about the evidence as a whole really swayed them.
  8. Hopefully you caught that I said temporary sanity, not insanity. I was talking about the jury and/or judge. They should see that it never would have happened had the POS not started this. Dude merely finished it. Get a few more juries to think sanely and maybe we get a few less low lifes trying to hold people up.
  9. I agree. You break into someone's home, and all bets are off.
  10. We need to enact a law guilty by reason of insanity. Change this thing back in favor of the victims.
