“? You can’t take potshots at someone stealing your car. That’s murder in any state.”
Yep, you are right. They have made it illegal to protect private property outside your Castle. Some states you can’t even defend your Castle.
—“? You can’t take potshots at someone stealing your car. That’s murder in any state.”
Kind of, sort of, depending on your affinity group and neighborhood.
—”New video from city pod cameras shows what police say is two people pulling up and opening fire at an Austin home. They ducked for cover as the people inside fired back. One person was killed and two others were hurt in the shootout. Three people were arrested.”
“By Sunday morning, a Chicago police spokeswoman acknowledged the suspects had “been released without charges.”
“But a police report framed the state’s attorney’s office’s decision to decline charges in a different light: “Mutual combatants was cited as the reason for the rejection.” Mutual combat is a legal term used to define a fight or struggle that two parties willingly engage in.”
“Last week, Cook County prosecutors came under fire after making a similar argument after a teenager was stabbed to death during a fight in suburban Schaumburg. The family of the victim, 18-year-old Manuel Porties Jr., later told WGN that prosecutors specifically said they weren’t charging the 17-year-old suspect with murder because the fatal fight amounted to mutual combat.”

If someone steals $1,000 dollars in value from me, or anybody for that matter, they stole whatever time it takes you to replace that. In fact, you can never replace it, because you will always be down 1K. At my age, that is life changing, as it is about 90% of my SS. To me, stealing things is the equivalent of stealing my life. How many hours do you have to work to replace that much money? That is the number of hours stolen from your life.
