I live in "The People's Republic of Massachusetts"
Boston just announced plans for a "Weapons Buy Back" nothing like the taxpayers funding weapons upgrades for criminals.
Having been born and raised in a red state (VA). I cannot believe the insanity that is on parade here. These people will twist themselves into pretzels to avoid displaying anything resembling common sense.
My favorite is the Run and Hide from the criminal breaking into your home law. Which states you can only use deadly force for self defense if you are cornered and there is no escape.
Contrast that with the sheriff of my old hometown. "It is self defense if the perps body is across the threshold of the point of entry. If he falls backward outside drag em back in."
Out here in Cooke Co TX the sheriff would take about a minute to conclude it was justifiable and compliment
them on reducing the criminal population.
I have seen this so, so many times, and each time, I ask: "Do you think that any half-decent CSI couldn't figure out what transpired? Really, now.
"It is self defense if the perps body is across the threshold of the point of entry. If he falls backward outside drag em back in."
Your screen name is perfect for this type of advice. Are you seriously suggesting that physical evidence be altered? Mah Gawd, if he falls backward outside, let his sorry dead-ass carcass lie there where it falls. You start messing with evidence and no one will believe a damn thing you say. Don't mess with physical evidence. It may sound catchy, but it will cost you a load of pain.
