Exactly.


it wasn't a fucking yeti, or someone with a weapon. it was a guy looting. his life wasn't threatened to a point where this is even close to acceptable.


Yes, but, there are no real witnesses other than him. All they have is what he says since the guy who broke in is dead. People will view it as, some guy tried to break in, the guy defended his property. That's what it will be seen as. Hell, if some body were to every break into my house and steal my stuff, stuff I bought with the money I worked for, trust me, I would make sure that guy leaves my house in a body bag. I live in Texas though, as stated before, so, it's actually legal for me to do that with out a need for a trial or even to be looked into.


He doesn't live in Texas. However, he almost certainly does live in a state where there are laws on excessive force. Kinda like in American History X. "Oh is dat some black man outside mah house?" /curb. Not nearly as extreme mind you, but it's the same idea. "Oh noes he take mah stuff!" /sword. He could have just, I dunno, not killed him.
But that's biased. Because I hate our legal system. I think we need to get rid of all this "what if/moral" bullshit grey area, and if you kill someone, regardless of why, you fucking go to jail. Forever.

So if someone is holding a gun to you're head and you stab him in the leg with a pocket knife in self defense and he ends up bleeding out. You think that you should go to jail?

Well, on paper yeah. Because if we made it evident we were going to show no mercy for killing, people wouldn't do this even half as much as they do now. The whole violence problem we have, in my opinion, has a lot to do with all the ways you can get away with killing someone. This (not your example, thread topic) is a great example. Clearly excessive force, yet due to lack of witness (he samurai'd the only one) he can say whatever the hell he wants and more likely than not people are gonna roll with it.

And how do you figure that? It doesnt say anywhere on there that the guy got arrested...

He killed another man. With a sword. He can't just get off without some kind of punishment.


It was self defense. So obviously he won't go to jail.

No matter what, he still did it to protect himself. Now, yes, the robber might of possibly said "Oh shit, I'll leave you have a sword," but, he could of also attacked him knowing he had a sword thinking he could dodge it, or get it from him. We really don't know. What we do know is, this guy broke into his gauarge with the intention of stealing this guys stuff.

I, personally, don't feel anyone should be punished for killing someone in self defence. It's you or him. If he's attacking you, and the only way you could effectivley defend your self is with a sword, gun, or something else, and use use it, hit a vital part of the body and this person dies, you should not be held responsible. The robber's hand was almost severed, and his upper body was lacerated. The hand could of been easily damaged like that because the robber tried to black the sword from hitting him.

What would you do if someone broke into your house and you were right there to see it and all you had was a knife in your hands(let's say you were cutting some vegitables for dinner)? I know I wouldn't let him leave. He broke into my house trying to steal my stuff. That doesn't work for me.

Those Hopkins guys are crazy. Back when I was in school I was at a lacrosse match against JHU when one of my friends made a rather disparaging comment about Mr. Hopkins and his university loudly enough that one dude in a Hopkins Med shirt who overheard became so visibly agitated that I was afraid he was going to take his scalpel set out and incise my friend on the spot. Perhaps that's what happened here.

If you don't believe me that they're insane, visit their main library sometime. It's built like NERV HQ. All that's missing is a big pool of goo and a giant nailed to a cross in the cellar, which might very well be down there if you can slip past the janitors.

The problem here isn't self-defense, its the the fact that he become an attacker rather than a defender. You are armed, the man isn't, you want to make him pay for entering your home with bad intentions. No matter how you look at it, the 'right' thing to do is to spare his life and give him a second chance. The 'wrong' thing to do would be revenge. Yes, maybe you are putting yourself at risk of a second robbery or even assault, but then it becomes kill or be killed if you argue it that way, which in the eyes of many is an over exaggeration.

This is assuming he wasn't attacked by the robber first. Just because someone isn't armed, doesn't mean they're not a threat.

No matter how you look at it, the 'right' thing to do is to spare his life and give him a second chance. The 'wrong' thing to do would be revenge.
To you. This guy could use that second chance to go off and rob some other guy or kill, etc..So, the "right" thing to do in some peoples opinions, would be to take him our before he gets the chance. "Right" and "wrong" are not exact. No one truely knows what right or wrong is.

Legal issues aside, I would go fucking berserk if someone tried to break in my house.

Maybe I sound conservative, but I think being able to defend your property from intruders is a natural law. In the Islamic Faith, you have the right to kill anyone who invades your home, which is what "Jihad" essentially means; and I personally think it's a very sound idea, and the Muslims would praise this so called, "NERD" you guys are talking about. I mean, if a guy breaks into your house, takes things that you own, and leaves without you even making an effort to stop him yourself... you might as well leave all your valuable shit on your front lawn and put a sign that says, "STEAL THIS, I WON'T HURT YOU."

quite frankly low life scum burglars deserve to be killed. What am I supposed to do? let them brake in take my stuff and just take it up the ass and have to buy new things just to save the life of some low life rat bastard who is nothing but a cancer to society.

luckily in Colorado if someone breaks in you can kill them (they have to be inside the house)

I know a lot of you think this is cruel. But when/if it happens to you. you will understand.

my parents had a very successful business. they were in line for an important missile defense contract worth about 6 million dollars. before the contract was signed a large number of parts had to be made and inspected by the feds to make sure they were good. (these parts alone were worth around 200k)

the parts had been made and the government inspectors came to our factory and signed them off. They had gone over many things and we were granted the contract. All that was left was to have the official contract signing in a week, and it would be a done deal.

But it was all for nothing. one of our jack ass employees managed to lift a key from one of the supervisors and broke into the company. He took a bunch of raw material and the parts that had been and sold them as scrap.

this little stunt ended everything. the FBI, as well as DOD and other military and government had a huge investigation. as a result of all this the contact was canceled. The government still got the parts that we had already made. But the raw materials were never found.

We lost the contract so millions were lost. this would of solidified are small company and put it on the map.

the loss of the raw materials screwed over our other private contracts. Even with insurance the company went bankrupt. my parents also went bankrupt. We lost our home. we lost almost everything other than our cars.

all this because some dipshit thief. so I have no loves for thieves and burglars. The only thing they deserve is an extremely painful death.

and hey if more burglars get shot or stabbed with swords or whatever when they break in. It will make others not want to risk it.

people seem to think these criminals deserve a second chance. Screw them!
These people are waste of protein. Maybe if the world or just our nation was very underpopulated I would favor trying to "save" them. but its not. toss them out with the rest of the trash.

Money > Life

Not personally against that point of view, but that's the entirety of your argument.

Perhaps you should invest in some sort of insurance policy. Why put all of your marbles in one bag. It's your parents fault for leaving everything up to the morality of an employee. His view:

Money > Slave labor

He saw that he had a chance just as your family to get himself a start. He just happened to go against the law to achieve his earnings.

Techincally speaking there's a difference between self defense and your system of preventive threat assesment. Self defense is NOT the right to kill the person threatening your life. Self defense is the right to to prevent the person from harming you. You can do this in several ways which in most cases do not involve killing (maiming, incapacitation etc.) but if you choose that killing him is less of a bother then we have two scenarios:

1) You kill him with the first attack (shot/knife to the head etc.) and they can't do anything to you since you can always argue that you panicked.
2) You incapacitated him by other means (shot to the leg, hell even both legs if that works for you, why not all four limbs that would be okay with me) and then decide that he may still be a threat to you and proceed to take more drastic measures.

In the second scenario you made a preventive threat assessment which honestly most of the times is out of place and exaggerated. It's basically murder since you don't have the right to decide whether or not hes a big enough threat to put out of its misery. You have the right to defend ones self not prevent potential harm to it.... if that would be the case then you could kill a burgler even if it wasn't your house the one being burglered.

No matter how you look at it, the 'right' thing to do is to spare his life and give him a second chance. The 'wrong' thing to do would be revenge.
To you. This guy could use that second chance to go off and rob some other guy or kill, etc..So, the "right" thing to do in some peoples opinions, would be to take him our before he gets the chance. "Right" and "wrong" are not exact. No one truely knows what right or wrong is.


Then again YOU don't have the right to give a verdict on what's "right" or whats "wrong". Some people have a job to better discern between the two, mainly because they are more objective then you will ever be when confronted with such a situation.

Yes, maybe you are putting yourself at risk of a second robbery or even assault, but then it becomes kill or be killed if you argue it that way, which in the eyes of many is an over exaggeration.


I wouldn't see it as that. If someone is trying to killl me, I sure as hell would try to kill him back.


So according to the last phrase it would seem that society is not the place for you. Let's say that in self defense you kill someone and are afterwards through an odd procedure sentenced to death.... then if the latter statement is true you'd become nothing more than another criminal.

No, they don't. No one does. Why? because what is right and wrong varies between cultures and people. Fact is, someone thinking it's the right thing to do and spare someone who just tried to kill them would be the same concept of me thinking it's right to kill someone because they tried to kill me first. No one has the right to define what right and wrong is. You have your moral standards, I have mine, everyone else has theres. That all. Fact is, I never said I have that verdict now did I?

Hence
So, the "right" thing to do in some peoples opinions, would be to take him our before he gets the chance.




So according to the last phrase it would seem that society is not the place for you. Let's say that in self defense you kill someone and are afterwards through an odd procedure sentenced to death.... then if the latter statement is true you'd become nothing more than another criminal.

What point are you trying to make? I would try and kill someone if they tried to kill me. As in, if they come at me with a gun, or knife, I will fight back, and I will do just as much attempt to kill them as they do me. I'm not going to go back and try and kill them if they don't succeed and manage to get away.

This post made me think alot about the Punisher...

Except the Punisher went back for Revenge. I would do it in the heat of the moment. Big difference.

I think the undergraduate student must have been watching too much Samurai X or reading Vagabond. He got the perfect oppurtunity to try out his skillz and he got it. The burglar had a previous conviction but I don't think he would go to jail for long.

While these expert legal discussions between 15 year-olds who haven't yet graduated high school are plenty amusing, let's at least get the facts right.

The student has not even been arrested, let alone charged with a crime, let alone convicted by the DA. I asked a friend who works as a lawyer on the East Coast about this, and he says it's unlikely that the student will get charged, since the thief has an extensive criminal record, had already burglarized the place, and lunged at the student in question.

If the other witnesses corroborate this last sentence, there are virtually no legal grounds upon which to charge him with a crime.

By specifically pointing out the age and education level you imply that if you're 15 years old or have not graduated High School you don't know anything about the laws and legal system and how they work.

I said
For the record, just becasue you haven't graduated high school doesn't mean you can't know what you're talking about when it comes to the law.


This only says that just because we have not graduated High School does not mean we do not know what we're talking about. Nothing else was implied at all.
So I'm not even sure what kind of a point you were tying to make by post that response.

money is not greater than life. But the well being and survival of my family is definitely greater than some little shit criminal. Oh but we are just supposed to lose everything to save the life of some rat scum. That is lower than a diseased alley cat? I think not.

that king of overboard moralist Idealism is incredibly naive. Want to break into someones home to Steal stuff, commit rape or murder etc? At that point you are taking a risk. Are you going to get away with it? or are you going to get shot?

After all when someone is breaking into your home or business you don't know why they are there. Maybe they just want to steal your t.v, Maybe they want to rape your wife or daughter. Maybe they want to kill all of you. Or maybe they just wanted to sneak in do some crack and leave. Who knows? likewise you don't know if they are armed or not.

Back to what happened with my parents business. The scum rat who broke in was in fact my cousin. He had no criminal history but needed some help getting started in life. He also stole the key from one of the other supervisors. As a result of his actions not only did we lose everything. The people working for us lost their jobs as well. My dad had a horrible heart attack as a result. Tax payers dollars were wasted on the investigation.

A lot was lost.

don't want to get shot or stabbed breaking into someplace? then don't break in.

I am not going to lose out when I have done nothing wrong for those little shits.

No, no you don't. This is a complex legal issue that necessitates specific knowledge of Maryland state law and precedent, and which even professional lawyers will have diverging opinions about. Considering that you're too young to have even taken a basic Law 101 class, your opinion on this matter (and mine, for that matter) is entirely worthless.

Take some Ritalin and a nap son, you're getting worked up over nothing. Your limits of english comprehension are showing, even I can't read a challenge to fisticuffs in the above statement (and when I get drink tequila, I can read a challenge in every 'hello' or 'excuse me' that is said...).

LOL @ Lepchin17, 'cept his reverse blade from taiwan hadn't arrived yet...
Is there another word for synonym?

So, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here, but based on what you've posted anyone breaking in anywhere at any time should be punished by death, no matter what, armed or not, because of a particularly bad personal experience you had? Noting again that I'm not saying you've no right to that opinion, because that is a dreadful thing to have happen, but there just seems to be something wrong with the "no mercy" ever attitude. And grouping a break in automatically with rape and murder is also iffy. And yes, I'm still in college, I know I'm not a lawyer, let's not have that pointed out. but the minimal law I've had to take so far is more than enough to know that the repercussions legally for rape and theft are very different. And for a good reason. And before it even becomes a problem, I am not at all suggesting that self defense would be wrong were an armed, dangerous person enters your house. even if they are unarmed. but if you simply kill someone just because you see them stealing, nothing more or less, I think that's an issue itself.

That's why it's easier when your country doesen't allow death sentences. If you kill him in your house it's still murder. Frankly i never understood why killing is better than a life of torture and ass raep. If someone killed a member of my family i would love to see him suffer until i get bored of it instead of just seeing him dead....

Also why do you think police officers only shoot when absolutely necesarry instead of applying a shoot first, try to convince him to surrender later policy.
If they see a person running with a potentially deadly weapon say an axe why don't they just shoot him first thing in order to prevent potential harm to others?

..well, that issue is really complicated in our country where police officers abuse their power of being able to shoot a suspect..most of them end up killing the suspect..i think that it is better if they shoot to immobilize rather than to kill..they really need further training on these matters..*sigh*...but i get ur point, pinguinus..how is it done in your country??
