Topic	Battered wife turns in hubby's guns after he's arrested. She's charged w/ theft!

Yes. Theft is okay. Breaking the law is absolutely fine. But my point is that endangering the safety of the community is not okay and enforcing laws is supposed to prevent the endangerment of the safety of the community. So when you enforce the law, you need to keep in mind of the main goal, "am I protecting the community?", when making decisions. Does this make sense to you and do you still feel that the punishment is fair because she broke the law? If the latter, then we have to agree to disagree because whole point of Following the Law versus Interpreting the Law is that the latter looks at each scenario to determine if it's fitting to enforce the law and allows for exceptions while the former has no exceptions. You have a very fucked up view of law enforcement. His guns were going away. She wasn't in danger of him shooting her when he was in a fucking jail cell. Every excuse you made for her then applies to literally anyone who claims they committed felonies in the name of fear, no matter how irrational. --- 'It's okay that those gangbangers stole all my personal belongings and cash at gunpoint, cuz they're building a rec center!' - OneTimeBen <cite>darkjedilink posted [p:923985160] in Battered w...
