I'm on the fence about where I stand on this case but I will say that I'm not sure I agree with this statement. Do you really think you have to actually be hurt to defend yourself? What would it take? Do you have to be struck/stabbed/shot before you can shoot? I think that there are certainly cases where threat is enough to defend yourself. Shoot the guy in the legs or stomach, why go for the chest?

I didn't see the show. The only one who saw the show is the guy in jail. And the Dead guy. Appears the guy is trigger happy. He should be in jail. Dateline interviewed several people who had worked with the victim. One of them said that he knew something like this would happen. The man had an extremely volatile temper. He had assaulted others before. The former coworker likened the man to a ticking time bomb. None of this information was presented to the jury. Also it is pretty clear that many of you commenting on this thread did not read very much about this case. First of all the defendant did not shoot any dog. He fired a warning shot which scared the dogs away. Second, they interviewed someone in the dog pound from where the yellow lab came, and he said the dog had been there because he was a biter. I put myself in the defendant's shoes because I had been in a very similar situation myself. A few years ago, I was out for a run on my lunch break. I'd just sprinted up a big hill in Kinnear Park at Lower Queen Anne, when I came upon a man walking an unleashed dog. It was a medium sized poodle mix. The dog charged me. Like the man in the story above, I yelled at the man, "call your dog off! call your dog off". He just stood there, mute as he let the dog attack me. I kicked in it's direction to keep it from biting me. I managed to scare it (not sure if I actually struck it). At that point, I would of continued at a run, but I was completely out of breath. The man charged me with his fists raised. He stood there threatening me, while all I could do was gasp. If I had had a gun I would have shot the bastard. I have a right to run through a public park without being attacked by someone's dog and then by the owner who fails to control it. All I was doing was minding my own business. By the way, the law in Arizona was subsequently changed to put the onus on the prosecutor to prove that defendant acted in self-defense, rather than on the defendant. You obviously didn't read our posts very carefully. We were speaking hypothetically that it would be acceptable to shoot a threatending dog. NO ONE said that the man did shoot the dog. You should read more closely before admonishing us to do so. It is obvious you have not gotten over your run in with someone who scared you. Here is a wake up call for you--you don't get to shoot people for scaring you. You are alive an unharmed. That makes it pretty obvious that you didn't have the right to shoot that person. And trust me, I know what it's like to be attacked. But killing another human being is the most egregarious error that one could ever make. You people make wonderfun armchair quarterbacks. You are, like the prosecutor, excellent at judging a person for something had did when he had only an instant to make a decision that might determined whether he lived or died. I would have crushed that guys larynx, and broke his kneecaps.

Just imagine...not using this crap Amen.

What? Just imagine... creating integrity constraints just by tracing a line between two tables. Add voice recognition software and you could even combine the UI technology with verbal commands - create index, primary key, add check constraint. Or within an IDE, dragging and dropping JSF, Swing, or (retch) ASP.NET components. Using your fingers to resize elements on Class or ER diagrams, or borders for UI components. Sweet! Be careful there, you might turn archy on!! Funny enough, while I was reading that post I figured I'd respond with "I'm wet", but you already saw that coming. nice double entendre

I'd love to see this kind of UI in and IDE, say to design a DB schema or for creating GUIs.

yes

What's so divine about saliva?

1) explain the downturns in temperature over the last 60 years 2) look at the stock market immediately prior to 2000, sure seems like the slope "changed" in a drastic way upwards... until a year or so later

You're avoiding the real issue - Al Gore's hypocrisy. No surprise, since it is an "inconvenient truth".

Wow, 0.6 degrees Celcius in 60+ years! I'm underwhelmed! Exactly how much is due to man alone, and how much otherwise? By exactly I want a number with certainty from peer reviewed journals (ala Foraker). And, if we do nothing then the temperature will rise another 0.6 degrees in 60 more years? or maybe 1 or 2 degrees? Alternatively if we make huge sacrifices in our personal lives in the US for those 60 years we'll do EXACLTY what? Limit the rate of growth by 1%? Maybe 5%? I want hard numbers man. And I want accurate predictions (which we don't get) on EXACTLY what will happen in either case, not the bullshit hand-wringing hyperbole we hear today. And if I am to sign up for huge personal sacrifices, I expect EVERYONE to do the same, including Al Gore, hollywood, and all you fuckers on the list who swallow this line of thought. Yes, that means less unnecessary trips to climbing areas - both in state and around the world - no more trips to Denali, the Dolomites, or whereever.

No, YOU don't get it. Gore is fronting himself as a spokesman for the "crisis" that is global warming and insisting we ALL make drastic changes to avert that crisis, and himself is a profligate consumer of energy. That's out and out hypocrisy. Just as the lefties hold all the conservatives to a higher standard for moral behavior because they take moral stances, so should Gore be held to a higher standard for his position and his hypocritical personal behavior. Bush doesn't go around moralizing to us about energy use so he can be as profligate as he wants. Just as morally corrupt lefties can get away with their moral failings without reproach, since they don't moralize. Like a taste of your own medicine? Bitter, eh?

Fly 2nd class? He can certainly fly 1st class - ON A REGULAR FUCKING PLANE, not his own fucking lear jet. His behavior exemplifies the elitist arrogance of the rich and powerful dictating that WE must make sacrifices to avert "global disaster" (hysterical hyperbolic bullshit in itself), while he does whatever the fuck he wants - and is "entitled" to it. Fuck him.

It makes me think about the whole idea girls have that they have to change for a man. This happens sometimes a girl acts differently around a man until she entraps him, then she "reverts" back to how she "is" and gets all huffy when the man is wondering wtf just happened. Read - "I just met this guy...he's so dreamy...and he's a climber! I'll try climbing now, it will be a fun thing we can do together!" N years later she's not climbing, chunked out because she's secure that he can no longer run off so lay on the wine and chocolats baby, and hell the sweaters just cover up everything anyway, and, well hell just not doing much of ANYTHING anymore. Word. I'm constantly amazed by the number of married women who not only seem to have no interests or passions of their own, but who seem actively avoid cultivating any of their own interests so they can stay at home and pout whenever the hubby actually does something outside of the relationship and use the whole abandonment-guilt angle for emotional blackmail later on. These were all women with no children. If there were kids involved and the guy was constantly cruising off to play while she was left to look after the kids I'd understand, but - nope. These are also the type that seem to double-up on the Ben and Jerry's shortly after the honeymoon is over. Scary stuff. Oh the humanity!!

I never posited any "facts" about the lifespan of animals in captivity; nor did I refute your "facts". Have a nice day, Cliffie! Nope, you just got all 3rd grade on dru and called him a name! That's totally legal. Poop-head. Am not. Are too. Yeah, lots of "3rd graders" call each other Cliff Clavin. Oh, and if the shoe fits...

Thanks Cliff Clavin
