You said — Someone saying they understand the reason is not the same as advocating it. Hopefully, JimRob gets rid of any that advocate it right away. That is not what we do.

In a slightly different item, but related to “shootings” and “criminals”.... there was a Pharmacist in Oklahoma who shot a robber in his store, disabled him (but didn’t kill him at first) — and then went back and got another gun, and pumped him full of five more rounds, in order to make sure he was dead.
Now, I read some posters who supported the idea of “making sure a criminal is dead” first, before you go and call the police... LOL...
That’s the sort of mentality that you’re finding here on Free Republic...
