How do you justify the murder? Because the kid did something stupid? 95% of adults will say they did stupid things as teenagers, and the other 5% are liars. What reward would you give the murderer? A Congressional Gold Medal? A Senate seat? A Nobel prize?
In addition, this is very irresponsible firearms use. Guns are for self-defense, not for getting petty revenge against kids who piss you off.
I can't believe that you are capable of having any compassion for your hypothetical "another innocent child" when you feel no sorrow about this happening. You are nothing more than a cold-blooded sadist who has no respect for human life.
Amen.
Bump
Apparently you guys haven't ever been hit by an egg while operating a motorcycle, with your girlfriend/boyfriend hanging on behind you.
This happened to me a while back and when something hits you and explodes while you're driving 45 mph, you and whoever is with you (if anyone) are likely to be shaken.
I am fortunate to not have lost control and caused an accident.
When it happens to you, it feels like attempted murder, trust me.
I have a hard time believing you respect human life if you're defending someone who would take yours (perhaps not intentionally) in a heartbeat.
Jesus did twice justify "murder" of children that cursed/hit their parents in the New Testament and shamed those that were against it as the O.T commanded. Are you ashamed of it.
* "He who strikes his father or his mother shall surely be put to death." Ex. 21:15
* "Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? For God commanded, saying... `He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.' But you say..." Mat. 15:3-4
* "For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men..." [Jesus] said to them, "All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition. For Moses said, 'Honor your father and your mother; and 'He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.' But you say..." Mark 7:8-11
We are not to do this vigilante style, but give place to wrath (let the government authorities do it)... but Jesus was not one bit callous about the death penalty.
Never mind responding to my earlier inquiry. I see you lack the ability to comprehend the written post.
"How do you justify the murder? Because the kid did something stupid? 95% of adults will say they did stupid things as teenagers"
... did many stupid things as a young person and luckily no one shot me. I hope they catch the arse exit and string him or her up. No, murder is not the appropriate response for a stupid act from another. Keep that up and see how fast states turn on CCW holders.
I bet when the catch the murdering SOB he has a record a mile long. I doubt a CCW (Certified Good Guy) Holder would jeapodize their card over an egg.
