Topic	Question for armchair lawyers/cops. What would happen if the gun dad killed Bart

And guess what, it shouldn't be ok for citizens to kill people on assumptions like that. In this instance, the Simpsons weren't trying to hurt anyone. Sure the family didn't know that, but that is why things like that shouldn't be normalized in a normal society. What if someone was walking their dog, lost control of the leash and the dog ran under a bush in that guys yard. the owner of the dog goes, simply to get the dog out, guy comes out with gun and shoots him dead while he's running....by your logic, because the home owner THOUGHT he was a threat and might harm others its ok to shoot at someone running away? "but the dog guy could have just explained that to the home owner"....kinda of hard to reason with and have a conversation with someone who steps out with a shot gun and points it at you. fight or flight does kick in, and if they choose flight and run away, put the weapon down. --- Dallas Cowboys: 1 - 1 <cite>TheVipaGTS posted [p:931885562] in Question f...
