You said you can't if he is incapacitated.
I said that you cannot summarily execute somebody. That is the law of the land in all 50 states.
If somneone comes in my house with the intention of doing harm to me or mine, I AM the law. The penalty for posing a threat to me or mine is death. If that means going to jail later, I am willing to do so.
And where do you need to be an expert to sit 20 feet away, with a gun pointed at the mass of his body, ready to fire if he sits up?
But he will sit up sooner or later, like in front of a parole board. Unless you are guaranteing me he will be in prison for life, with no possibility for parole or escape, he will be a potential threat to me and mine for as long as he lives. Such a threat can not be tollerated.
If a guy comes in my home intending to hurt me or my loved ones I will kill him no matter what body position he is in.
I know the American education system may be about 38th in the world, but it can’t be so bad that you can’t tell the difference between a body in prone position and a body sitting up.
Keep shooting until he can never sit up ever again. Threat elimminated.
So, you are like a little pansy.
That’s right, when he’s incapacitated.
That means he’s in no position to harm you.
And the law of the land supports that position.
Then you should have no problem with the pharmacist going to jail for what he did, because he did what you say he would do. Glad we’re in agreement on something. If you take out an incapacitated individual, you deserve jailtime.
I don’t care if it’s an hour or a day. If the cops haven’t come to collect him and he sits up, show him what big bullets can do to a body. But if he stays prone, until the cops come, he lives.
Let me repeat myself, for the umpteenth time and as clearly as possible. If somebody is trying to break into your home or is doing something active that is threatening your family, kill the bastard.
However, if he’s no longer in position to harm you or your family, it is not your right to deliver justice.
As far as keeping shooting, I have no problem with that actually. That’s what the pharmacist should have done.
However, the pharmacist made the mistake of killing the perp when he knew darn well the guy wasn’t going anywhere or going to do anything. That is where he broke the law.
with only a slight exaggeration intended, the pharmacist could have taken a leisurely lunch and massage and still finished off the perp.
