This is actually bordering on insanity now Depends on the situation if the Trump people are rioting, looting and killing. I guess you could make a case.

Posted August 27, 2020 9 minutes ago, Consept said: So just as a matter of logic you think it's acceptable or even lawful to have an armed untrained 17 year old policing the streets? He seems to be very well trained judging by video, he handled situation better then most people would if they could pull trigger. Would it change anything if he would be 18-21 besides point of law?

Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) @purerogue He went out of his way to murder two people If a man comes into your town with a gun and sees you jaywalking, does he have the right to kill you? According to you, he does, since apparently anyone can take the law into their own hands whenever they feel like it.

Well he had 2 options, let the crowd beat him up, maybe kill him, or shoot at them, did he made right decision ? Guy was not attacking anyone, sure he was walking around with gun, but he was not stirring up problems. You are trying to find justification for why it is k for them to attack him and it is wrong for him to defend himself, it is just silly. So what is it, is it wrong for people to protect property, but it is k for people to go around assaulting others , destroying property, just logical question?

Good that you don't run society, would not survive. Does not matter if it was his property, not everyone is brave enough to protect them self, or are capable to. I don't want to go into article long discussions about life importance, you seem to read to much spiritual dogma. Edited August 27, 2020 by purerogue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 27, 2020 If you're a Nazi terrorist and a scumbag that murderously shoots someone in the head, you should expect to have a mob of people chasing you. You do not have the right to fight back. You have the right to get beaten into the ground and sent back where you came from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This kind of response is unproductive and not a good-faith response. So is mine: But jokes aside, you're asking for trouble if you attack random people with a gun regardless of whether they're protesters or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ironically, you have fallen into a classic trap here: Mythologizing "spiritual people" as never condoning violence or harsh action. You can do your spiritual practices and stuff and still kill a man in certain contexts of self-defense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That makes you justified to shoot at them because hey. . .it was self-defense! That's so far-away from a solid defense of what happened.
