Woman Kills Boyfriend By Sitting on Him

[Maxkarter]

Says the man who was telling me how good it is you can shoot at people who break into your home :laugh

To be fair, if you weren't allowed to shoot at theives once they've shot at you first, here all the police would find, once they arrive an hour later is your dead family.

Big difference between South Africa and Edinburgh though

I think the point Hmarka was making is that shooting at people who break into your house is more self defence rather than taking the law into your own hands though.

Maybe Edinburgh, not so sure about Livingston

he was 8 and half stone and she was 300lbs?

how on earth did a man that weighed as much as a teenage girl abuse someone that weighed as much as a gorilla? their weights are odd enough without factoring that living together they must shared aspects of each others lifestyle. Did she just eat everything in the house and not leave him any food?

he must have been a heroin addict or summit, it's almost impossible for two people living together to touch such extremes of the weight ranges.

Simple answer is that she feeds on his life force.

Haha, thats crazy. Is it okay to laugh?

Exactly, defending yourself and property is legal in Texas.


"A person is justified in using deadly force against another if he would be justified in using force under Section 9.31 of the statute when and to the degree he reasonable believes that deadly force is immediately necessary to protect himself against the other's use or attempted use of unlawful deadly force, if a reasonable person in the same situation would have not retreated. The use of deadly force is also justified to prevent the other's imminent commission of aggravated kidnapping, murder, rape or robbery."

I think when you are forced to defend yourself with a gun, it shows more problems with your country, than it being self defence. People have used guns for self defence here, but it's pretty rare.

We've had several cases where people have taken self-defence, to murder. Like the norfolk farmer who shot a burglar running away from his home, or the guy in London (I think) who beat a burglar to death with a cricket bat, despite being about 100 yards down the street and running away from the scene.

Self defence is fine. I think having to defend yourself with a gun is only applicable in certain countries, here, it doesn't apply. So you'd understand if us Brits don't get the concept. Armed robbery is pretty rare here, especially on homes.

 

[Highlander999]

That guy with the cricket bat deserved a medal, good on him and his cousin (I think it was) Shows how stupid our country is that it prosecutes someone who managed to bump off a piece of scum and saved us paying for his prison cell

 

[Sureshot]

Do you see my point guys. ^ That's what happens when you let people get a contorted view of what self defence is. The law can never be taken in to the publics hands, because the public are thick.

 

[Highlander999]

Yeah sorry Nigel. I forgot people like you would try to "understand" him and blame it on "social problems". Oh well, kudo's to your wonderful Blair and Brown for fliping the country up these past 10 or so years so that this sort of thing is now so so common I won't resort to insulting you and calling you thick though, I'm above that

 

[Sureshot]

If you notice Tom, I didn't call you thick.

I to think people like burglars are scum, but people must never take the law in to their own hands. Also, what right did that man have to end that guys life? We don't have the death penalty here, in no circumstances can it ever be condoned.

Don't see what Blair/Brown has to do with this, either.

 

[Highlander999]

Technically you didn't call me it, but I got the inference from it.

That's the problem though. People shouldn't have to take the law into their own hands, but they do. Let's take the example of this guy. If he didn't do what he did, the crim's would have got clean away, after tying his family up and threatning to kill them, plus robbing them. What in any way is he contributing to our society? Nothing, he is a scourge on it and is better off dead as at least he can stop stealing other people's possessions.

About as relevant as you calling the public thick, just because your average Joe is going to be pleased that someone stood up to these scum, whilst people off your view point would want to understand them and help them, which is at the end of the day a waste of everyone's time and money.

 

[Sureshot]

Understand and help them? No, I want the justice system to do its job, not some yob kill someone who was no longer a threat to his safety. The law is there for a reason, Tom.

Even if someone is a scourge on society, they still have the basic rights you and i have.
