Texas man kills 2 men robbing his neighbor's home

[Kuya]

burglary may not be punishable by death, but neither is drunk driving, but for some reason they both can end up getting you killed, teenager or not.

know the risk of what you do, and be prepared to pay whatever consequences may come from it, legal or not, moral or not........

Umm, why did i get the idea that you did not intend to mean: "Drunk drivers should also be killed", but did anyway?

[Beckwin]

I yeah, I go out trying to hit drunk drivers with a F450 when I see them swerving on the road.

[Demosthenes11]

the liberal viewpoint is that of demonizing those that act within the law, and defend those breaking it. We saw it in the epic drama "Don't Tazer me Bro!!" and now we see it again.

There is an organization for these crazies...hold on let me recall...oh ya, the ACLU

Edit: I'd kill a drunk driver in the act if i ever had the chance, fuck that

[aceofspades]

i never said i think either should be killed, but a possibility that they could be killed.


they chose to do what they did, knowing they could be shot at and/or possibly killed. if you don' know that risk, you're not smart enough to be trying to break into anything ><

That is just so vague...

You are such a piece of shit.

I can guarantee you or a friend or family member or acquaintance that you don't really wish ill-will on has been on the road with a questionable amount of alcohol in their system.

Go fuck yourself.

That is just so vague...

is it? it says exactly what it means......

Reactionary, reactionary, reactionary. Get a thread with a certain point of view being seemingly prevalent, and the opposite side of it will begin to argue agaisnt it, and vice versa. This thread started with those who condoned this act, and then those who were agaisnt it appeared, if the thread had started with those against it, the opposite would show up.

What does this mean? That the side that is arguing for or agaisnt it isn't necesarily for a single side, merely trying to be fair by balancing the argument when they notice a large overflow of a single kind of opinion.

is it? it says exactly what it means......

At first glance you get the idea that you just mean that drunk driving could lead to your death by car accident, however

know the risk of what you do, and be prepared to pay whatever consequences may come from it, legal or not, moral or not........

You seem to be implying something else.

[aceofspades]

is that the old "i know you are but what am i?" arguement?

EDIT:the preedit part ><

Go fuck yourself.

If I ever found out one of my family members did, I'd fucking yell at them and tell them to fuck themselves and likely separate myself from them. It's such an easy thing to avoid its mind boggling why people do it.

[Beckwin]

Oh, so you wouldn't kill them?

[Keno]

You're an idiot to say that you'd kill anyone who drives drunk. I bet you at least 1/5 people you know have driven with a questionable amount of alcohol in their system.

[Remyo]

yea, why don't you all just go what if yourselves.

[Demosthenes11]

Oh, so you wouldn't kill them?

I believe in the death penalty, but I wouldn't personally kill a family member that killed someone. Your logic is terrible

[Rigor]

I don't think it is right at all to kill people for breaking and entering. Worse things have happened, and I'm not going to lose sleep over it, but its still fucked up.

That being said, if anyone breaks into my house while Im there they are getting a swift baseball bat to the face. If someone breaks into my neighbors house, I'll call the cops and watch for them to re-emerge to get a look at the culprits. My father also has a number of high powered rifles and a couple handguns in our house. Also, in colorado I'm pretty sure you aren't allowed to use deadly force unless you have reason to believe that someone is going to harm you or your family that doesn't include just being in your house without permission. I could be wrong but I think thats what my cop buddy told me.

If I ever killed someone who broke into our house, I would dwell on that shit for the rest of my life.

and if they killed a family member bc you didnt, youd be worse off i'd imagine

You said you'd kill anyone who was in the act of drunk driving. Drunk driving doesn't necessarily mean that they killed someone either. Either cut the hard-line authoritarian rhetoric or man the fuck up when you say it.

The good news is that it doesn't have to come down to choosing either situation. There are more than two choices here, keep that in mind. BG = no shades of gray.

[Correction]

Gosh people sure are getting riled up over a misunderstanding of a fairly straightforward sentence. I read this as:

If you are a thief breaking and entering, you assume the risk of getting shot. Especially in Texas, given the current circumstances.

If you are a drunk driver, you assume the risk of killing yourself and others in a blazing fireball of twisted metal.

This is what 'they both can end up getting you killed, teenager or not' means not 'death for drunk drivers.'

But hey why actually try to understand what someone is saying when you can make irrational statements once incensed? It's our god-given right to make uninformed attacks on the other side amirite?
