I got a hangover.

I wouldn't usually post this, but I never get hangovers.

[DrXThirst]

I guess you can't say that anymore.

[ScottyGEE]

ur fat

Them's fightin' words they are.

Likewise. Well, at least nothing I'd consider a hangover by comparison to how other people react.

I accidently marked all posts as read; now I have to check every thread, forum, and post I'm interested in.

I used to be able to say that, then I started getting the dirtiest hangovers.. It happens.

Actually it happens every time now with hard liquor to me.

Never had a hangover, yet. Knock on wood. The worst morning after only included a slight stomach ache which probably wasn't from the alcohol, anyways.

Never used to, but they just sort grew on me. I get them anytime I drink hard stuff now. Lame.

[MarsMartianMan]

Some assholes just ransacked the 4 houses behind me. I ran over to investigate an hour later. In one house, they took a shit in the sink and sprayed shaving cream EVERYWHERE. giggity In the one next to it, it look's as if they got frustrated because there was about 50 fucking million holes all over the walls. I didn't care to check out the other two, police tiem lewl.

If they ever come to my place, they'll be greeted by my personal doorman, Mr. Colt .45 with laser sight.

Great.
Unless you fear for your life as a prudent individual, you're going to jail for murder.

[SHOUTrvb]

Well, he never technically said he'd kill them. If I had a gun nearby while my house was being broken into, it's pretty safe to say that, likely after finding a safe hiding place or trying to get out of the house to call the police, I'd be perfectly ok with shooting someone who was threatening me in my own home. Granted, assuming they weren't armed, I'd likely just attempt to incapacitate them in some form rather than end their life. It ain't me, yo.

actually if they break into your house its legal to kill them happened to my friend

[Tural]

No, it is not. Someone breaking into your house does not give you legal right to murder them. That is a blatant lie.

Let me see if I can make you understand how inaccurate that is.
Trespassing: Couple hundred dollar fine.
Murder: LIFE IN PRISON OR CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

Definitely equivalent, right?

The one and only time it is permissible to kill someone (In a claim of self-defense, which still does not make it LEGAL) is when you are in fear of your life or another person's life. If someone breaks into your house and you just kill them, without them posing an IMMEDIATE threat (Pointing a visible gun at you yelling they're going to shoot or something of the like), you're going down for Second Degree Murder. Whatever happened to your friend is irrelevant, because you are factually incorrect.

Use of force is justified when a person reasonably believes that it is necessary for the defense of oneself or another against the immediate use of unlawful force. However, a person must use no more force than appears reasonably necessary in the circumstances.

Force likely to cause death or great bodily harm is justified in self-defense only if a person reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm.

Not only this, but even if you do believe that they're going to kill you, you're going to have to defend yourself in court against murder charges. You better have a witness or someone to show that you were in immediate danger of death, as in, if you didn't kill him, you were going to die immediately. Otherwise, in the case we're talking about her (Vandalism), those murder charges are going to stick because the people in question had committed no previous such crime as murder, giving you no defense of claiming they were going to kill you, when they had not done so in any previous case.

I hope MMM enjoys shooting teenagers, who are most likely unarmed, and wants to go to jail for it, because that is exactly what will happen if you shoot them just for breaking in to your house.

[Cuda]

I'd probably shoot the guy if he tries to take a dump in my sink, that's for sure.

[noscottno]

Tural's massive douche posts.

Kidding.

[SHOUTrvb]

Tural.. you're 100% right, but I don't know why you actually put that much time into explaining to sneaky that he was wrong; rather than just telling him he's wrong. Plus, as I said in my post, murder was never even implied in MMM's post. Although my post was primarily in jest, incapacitating someone who is breaking into your home without lethal force if danger is blatant and immediate is ok.

tl;dr? Sneaky was blatantly and obviously long, MMM never said he would have attempted to use lethal force, topic should have ended ages ago.

[Tural]

I can spend five minutes making the post now, or I can spend the next few hours going back and forth with replies of him detailing what happened to his alleged friend, which has no importance at all. It's a hell of a lot easier to sell the point in one post than a long discussion.

Also, I never actually said he was going to shoot them. My comment towards him was purely hypothetical, since he deliberately neglected to make his post clear, and threatening someone with a gun usually has a connotation that you would, you know, shoot said gun. Unless he wants to invite the children in for a can of beer and show off his gun collection before bidding them good day, it's safe to assume when he says they're going to meet his gun, he's threatening to shoot it. The only legitimate claim to you saying he never said he'd shoot them would be if you were purposefully analyzing his post in an overly-literal manner that completely neglects all common connotations and logical conclusions, for the sake of arguing.

Anything else?

[SHOUTrvb]

Never said he wouldn't shoot it? I just said his point wasn't to necessarily kill with the gun. You 'can' simply incapacitate someone with the use of a Gun. Most of this whole discussion seems to be based off the want to call someone else out and argue, so again, I say it should have ended ages ago.

[Tural]

However, a person must use no more force than appears reasonably necessary in the circumstances.

You're not legally able to shoot someone to incapacitate them when there are much better ways to do so. Hit them in the head, tackle them, lots of things to do that aren't considered deadly force. I already countered your point in my first post...
