What the WSJ can’t or won’t get is that the laws surrounding “justifiable homicide” exist to protect normally law-abiding people forced to defend their own/others live through no fault of their own. If lawyers for some thugs and criminals misuse “stand your ground” laws, etc., to get their clients off, that is the price the rest of us pay for the right to defend ourselves from attack. Legislators need to fine tune the laws to limit misuse, while preserving the self-defense rights of the innocent.
In most circumstances, Leftists and what used to be “liberals” embrace “better a hundred guilty go free than one innocent man be convicted wrongly”. Somehow, when someone has to defend their own life from an aggressor, they reverse their position. Because deep down they sympathize with criminals, and want law-abiding people to be helpless against them. “Why?” is ineffable.
Yes; it’s been common throughout most of human history. (The reason we assume that Mary was 13 or 14 is simply because among the Jews of the time, that was the age when girls generally became betrothed and then married.)
I published a very similar one in 2016, but I included all homicides, because if “gun control” just results in a substitution of methods, it has not accomplished its stated purpose. It covered a much longer period.

You think that was bad? The BBC’s reporting of the Ukrainian losses was/ is far worse. Only a fool will believe our MSM, especially after the Covid vax hoax.
