| Topic | Man shoots two teens who tried to steal his game console |
| ParanoidObsessive 10/25/21 12:48:59 PM #6: | The main sticking point from that story is that the perp "tried to run". That's usually the key factor in self-defense shootings. The shooter will probably be held liable if he shot at them as they were fleeing, because you're usually told just to let people flee, and only shoot if you're in direct danger (ie, they're coming at you or shooting as well). That being said, I personally think thieves should be fair game (especially in your own home, ie castle doctrine), because I'm a firm believer that your civil rights cease to be valid when you're going out of your way to violate the rights of others. The possibility of getting shot/injured/killed is a choice you consciously make when you choose to break-in/steal/assault/etc, and if you don't care about what you're doing to them then no one else should care about what they might do to you. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
