I have nothing to add to this thread.

I've read a great deal of history books (as well as some incredible books by Native Americans) and don't wish to downplay the horrors that were visited upon these people. But enough with the "we were so bad to them". I don't know about you, but I was born here and didn't kill anyone for the land I own. My parents are legal immigrants--I am the first in my family to be born in this country. Neither I, nor anyone in my family, did any of these bad things you are talking about. And before considering saying that I am the beneficiary of these previous actions--well, I'm sure as shit not going to feel guilty about that. Hell, I don't even feel too guilty about all the bad stuff my Viking ancestors did. Damn near everyone comes from a group that either shit all over other people or got shit on by other people. It ain't pretty, but it ain't something I am going to stay awake at night wondering how I can possibly make reparations to everyone else in the world.

hey! That's exactly what I'm asking!

wanna go ride bikes?

Then there are already laws against them. What are you advocating, that something can be illegal twice?

What?

yeah, she's not that cold.

ew

Go easy on yourself. You just had a baby!

Um, the attack is over, right? GET OVER IT

That case looks like the guy did not deserve it. And, it looks like it went to appellate court b/c the lawyer instructed the jury incorrectly, not b/c there was a question of force.

So, you just gave up hunting two years ago, right?

That makes sense. Not only was the Marine trained to use that weapon, he did so in an effort to protect someone in mortal danger (he didn't see the macing, right? And he doesn't know the history between the two men). Great example of when it is understandable that someone use deadly force against a person he just saw shoot another person and then have that person threaten another life.

Reread your first paragraph. Your head got so fucked up you couldn't speak correctly. Yet, you think you would be able to make the right decision with a gun in your hands? Societal response? Didn't you just read about OR loosening it's laws? Or do you mean our responses here? Especially responses that come from those of us who actually own guns and the right to carry them concealed? Who the fuck do you think you are? Oh yeah, that's right, you are God--the one who gets to decide who lives and who dies in the octagon of life. Grow up.

Why is "conflict management skills" one of the first requirements you list?

Is this the right forum to post observations?

Okay, so when I was in your situation and seeing a kid get stomped in the head, I remember also being very upset. It is troubling to see. Worse yet, the stomper was Tjayden, a skinhead who ruled the school in a reign of terror and was very hansome. My boyfriend at the time said we had to get out of there (it was at a party and we were doing some unsavory things, so we didn't want to be there when the cops came). I said no, we gotta get the guy. We argued about it a bit and then heard sirens. The skinhead troupe ran off, as did everyone else. I made my bf help me pick up the stompee and throw him in the back of the truck. His head was fucked up and swollen, and he'd been stabbed in the knee and was bleeding all over me. He was so disoriented he thought the blood was mine. I told my bf we'd bring him down the street to the Fire Dept and dump him off. And so we did. I never had to pull a gun on anyone. About a year later, by bf and I ran into the guy. He said thanks--and he looked good as new. And nobody got shot. Nobody forfeited their right to live (which, by the way, you don't get to decide b/c last time I checked, you weren't God). And nobody got shot. So get a grip already you Seattle pussy.

No shit, that's what I was thinking! Someone he can't see in the middle of his room in the dark. Fuck it, open fire!

If you are willing to shoot someone at 2am for beating up your neighbor, you have issues.

I have killed my fair share of living things and I can honestly say that no, I would not kill a person for breaking into my home. If they came at me, then yes, I would shoot them. But you, my boy, are freaking out. When you calm down, you may adjust your thinking a little bit.
