Well that's great news.

Of course, if the kid hadn't been a fucking stupid little thief, he'd still be alive, wouldn't he?

Ain't justice grand?

And being a thief equates to an execution how ?
There are penalties embedded in our legal system for absconding with anothers property.....death is not one of them.

So if he had been at home minding his own business he would have still been shot?
You don't have to think that the homeowner was right to recognize that if the kid had not been engaged in a crime he would still be alive.

True...just as you should have no need to be a lawyer to realize that this scumbag practically invited this kid in so he could shoot him dead.

When one chooses to commit a crime, one must also accept the possibility that they may be at greater risk of being the victim of one.

Here (Alabama) if I wake up in the middle of the night and find an intruder he is not the victim of a crime if I shoot him.

Mike, the homeowner was a nut-case, there's no denying that. He wanted to kill someone, and he found a way to do it that he thought would let him skate. He deserves his prison stay. But baiting a trap only works if there's someone out looking for the bait. The kid was trespassing. He entered a building he had no business being in. And he was most likely there to steal. He didn't deserve to die, but he's not an innocent victim.

If I leave my keys in the ignition, you're not allowed to steal my car. If I drop my wallet on the sidewalk, it's stealing if you take it and don't attempt to find the owner. Just because the homeowner left valuables in plain sight, that doesn't mean the kid was in anyway justified in trying to take them. Everyone likes to complain about victim blaming, but the simple fact of the matter is, if the kid hadn't taken the bait, he'd still be alive.

Where is it written that innocent and victim are mutually exclusive ?

My ex-bf was totally into guns and was always talking about how he thought it was good that he had them in case anyone ever broke into the house. This used to drive me crazy. Anytime I hear people talking about how they have to diligently protect their homes with an mini-arsenal of weapons, I nervously back away from them.

Sure....Markus Kaarma probably used excessive force, BUT....like you said, if that kid hadn't tried to break in to the house to begin with, he would still be alive. I don't think "baiting" has anything to do with it.




slvemike4u -> RE: Montana homeowner found guilty in slaying of German exchange student (12/20/2014 10:27:27 PM)

excessive force does not cover shooting someone to death after lying in wait for them

He'll get to room, shower, and even play with the very people his gun might have protected against.

Justice was served correctly!

Wow. NO!

When we take away a person's right of self defense, such as with incarceration, we as a society have a responsibility to protect that individual. Suggesting that being raped is part of justice being served correctly is just NOT okay.


This person was not defending himself nor his family, when he left the security of the house, to confront the unknown opposition, with unknown skill and unknown equipment, head on, in the dark of night, with no backup nor clear line of retreat. This person left his door open and unlocked, during a time when there were houses being broken into. Why?

Why do I have to keep bring this point up, and not one of you, can give a rational, stable, reasonable reply to it? Because that is what landed the guy into prison! This is not a 2nd amendment issue.

What does rape have to do with some gun nut wishing to be a hero, by leaving his door unlocked and open, during which houses are being robbed, to go outside the security of his house, to confront an unknown number of targets, with unknown skill and equipment, without backup, nor a line of retreat, in the dead of night, without a flashlight?

Funny, I quoted you, but here are your words again:

"He'll get to room, shower, and even play with the very people his gun might have protected against."

"Play with" is a euphemism for jailhouse rape or becoming someone's bitch or however you want to phrase it.


The moment you fire bullets out of a gun, you are...RESPONSIBLE...for where they hit down range. That idiot didn't....IDENTIFY...his target. Nor, did he stay inside his 'castle' on.....DEFENSE....during the whole episode. Is it not important to be responsible with a firearm? To identify friend from foe? That the firearm is used while on the defense, NOT, the offense? The answer is 'Yes'.

Your a firearm owner and you don't know this stuff?

"...play with..." as I mention below means something different. It means 'being around' in the area. "you get to go play with the cops?" Means: The police are talking over something with you. My apologizes that there could be a cultural barrier that was unforeseen in the original writing. I was not favoring him or any other be physically/mentally/emotionally attack in the manner you describe.

You said that this is justice correctly served.


Some innocent kid got killed by some idiot gun nut out to be a hero in the community. Yes, the kid was trespassing; does that warrant the death penalty? At least those on death row are told they are about to die....AND WHY!

I want an answer to that question I just put in bold from you.

quote:

ORIGINAL: Aylee
I have flat out told you that when you take away someone's ability to protect themselves, such as with incarceration, it is societies responsibility to do so and to suggest that rape was okay in that situation is VERY wrong.


And I think I mention to you, to show how rape has anything to do with this specific subject. And you seem to fail to answer that. This is not an issue of some women working late at night, having to walk to her car, and attacked by hooded thugs.

This is about a gun nut wanting to be a hero, by laying a trap and catching the wrong sort of prey. That he left his door unlocked and open, in the dead of night, when robberies had been reported in the area. And when the alarm was tripped, rather than 'hold the line' while the 'cavalry' arrived; he took matters into his own hands (aka vigilantly justice). He left his house, with no idea what he was up against. Not the number of possible intruders, their skill levels, the equipment they had, nor backup on his part or a clear line of retreat. He can afford a firearm but not a flashlight? He can afford bullets for the firearm, but not batteries for the flashlight? That he doesn't bother to identify his target, before shooting. And when he wounded his 'prey', he moved in for the kill shot.

If your having trouble understanding the difference between these two concepts....STOP NOW. Your half way to China in the hole.....

Being gleeful or looking forward to someone being raped is wrong.[..]

Point of reference. The kid didn't break into the house. Per the police investigation, that the door was unlocked and left open. And we had a....massive...debate on whether 'an open door' constituted 'breaking and entering' exactly, since nothing was broken nor forced. That the kid was in the garage and never made it to the 'dwelling' area of the house (another hotly debated issue at the time this came to the news).

That the guy set up a purse full of traceable money and jewelry on a table, with an open door, at night, when there had been other break-ins, would in my view, constitute 'baiting'. He just got the wrong prey.....

In the example of the key in the ignition....

What if the kid was just sitting in the driver's seat with his feet on the pavement? Is it 'grand thief auto'? Or just some teenager being stupid? Should you blast him without questioning him?

In the wallet example....

You would have to prove intent. Perhaps the person picking it up thought he saw a police officer down a nearby street and was heading in that direction to hand the whole wallet to them? There are good Samaritans in the world. Just as there are unscrupulous punks. Either way, we decide a person's guilty in a court room. That until they are found guilty of a crime, the individual is innocent.

I learned an old saw, many years ago: "Locks only stop honest people".

There used to be (may still be?) a principle where there were "enticements" that affect people and "make" them break the law. For example, I know in a few states, if a homeowner has a pool, they have to have a fence around it (or their entire yard) if they want insurance against trespassers suing them, should the trespasser get hurt. Sounds crazy, doesn't it? We live in a society where people that are breaking the law can sue the non-law-breaking homeowner. WTF?

There is some merit to the fact that this homeowner "set a trap" but there's also some merit to the fact that if this young man hadn't been in a place where he didn't belong, he wouldn't be dead.

We're not talking about the homeowner, grabbing his weapon and patrolling the streets like some vigilante, looking for "pay back".

Come skulking in my house or garage late at night. I bet you'll get some lead poisoning (and it's not about old paint).



Michael
