i dunno man, im all for the body bag method for removal of criminals in society... i dont want to hear how they had a bad life and killing innocent people is justified.

on the other side, one pos criminals life is worth more than a families? dont reproduce, pansy.



as for the dead mans family, im shocked! they arent trying to go for wrongful death or something? i mean in reality, they strike me as real people. they did not place blame, merely explained the problems the guy had.

I'm not back. I'm staying in my two forums. I just had to comment on the sewage spewing from this guy's mouth. I bet he's the same guy that doesn't support US soldiers and blames the war on them.

I think you are misinterpreting people's points.

A. These members don't have a problem with someone choosing not to defend themselves against a criminal, if you want to die that's your choice. People here have a problem with being hung out to dry in civil or criminal court for defending their family/property because our society is filled with people who feel sorry for the bad guys.

You can sit here and tell me that you would never take a human life but if you or your families life were in jeopardy you can sure bet that we will step in and take one to save yours.

B. No criminal has the right to defend themselves at any time and the law stands behind that statement, at least here in Texas.

I don't think you are familiar with the story, or maybe you are avoiding answering the question. Below is the response I am referring to


On the day of the shooting, a grandfather of one of the murdered Amish girls was heard warning some young relatives not to hate the killer, saying, "We must not think evil of this man."[17] Another Amish father noted, "He had a mother and a wife and a soul and now he's standing before a just God."[18]

Jack Meyer, a member of the Brethren community living near the Amish in Lancaster County, explained: "I don't think there's anybody here that wants to do anything but forgive and not only reach out to those who have suffered a loss in that way but to reach out to the family of the man who committed these acts."[17]

A Roberts family spokesman said an Amish neighbor comforted the Roberts family hours after the shooting and extended forgiveness to them.[19] Amish community members visited and comforted Roberts' widow, parents, and parents-in-law. One Amish man held Roberts' sobbing father in his arms, reportedly for as long as an hour, to comfort him.[20] The Amish have also set up a charitable fund for the family of the shooter.[21] About 30 members of the Amish community attended Roberts' funeral,[20] and Marie Roberts, the widow of the killer, was one of the few outsiders invited to the funeral of one of the victims.[22] Marie Roberts wrote an open letter to her Amish neighbors thanking them for their forgiveness, grace, and mercy. She wrote, "Your love for our family has helped to provide the healing we so desperately need. Gifts you've given have touched our hearts in a way no words can describe. Your compassion has reached beyond our family, beyond our community, and is changing our world, and for this we sincerely thank you."[22]

If I knew that's all it would take, I'd have challenged you to think a long time go.

I think you are misunderstanding me, all I said is why do you have to take a cheap shot because someone disagrees with you? The part about someone being sued came in way after, and I agreed with that poster that it was wrong.

I didn't say I would never take a human life, in fact I said I would kill an intruder too. Am I not writing in English or something?

Agreed, though a criminal is already breaking the law, it's unlikely he would listen to this one. At least you sort of responded, I thought it was a simple question, didn't know I would get the gun-huggers all upset.

This post may be a bit off topic but it looks at part of the root problem.


drugs and crime...A common event. people become victims from the actions of violent crime. Been threatned by a drug addict when i told him to leave my construrction site. He was lucky to be 130 pounds another pulled a parcel knife on my labour foreman when he was kicked out of the dumpster, this guy had a mental problem, and most likely a drug problem, by the time I heard about it it was to late but to call the cops before that guy hurt someone.


My point is a lot of this problem is the drugs and the people who make and sell them. The mentally handi-caped that become addicted by the drug dealers, have no real idea of what is in store for themselves. Was watching on tv about one guy who I have seen for several years on the street. he is mentally handicapped, he was pulling water into his heroin needle from a mud puddle. There are many reasons how and why people start on drugs, but generally the end result is the same when it gets out of controll.




It is a shame the drug dealer was not shot instead of the Benoit, however he is also guilty as it was a series of choices that led him to his demise. That is still not an excuse for his actions.
