This is what happens when politics mixes with hate

[Uncle Sparky]

Repugs will crush your kid's pussies!!!

[Al B. Sure!]

Is albie a ****ing moron?

The guy is in your house in the middle of the night with a knife acting violent.

He is an imminent threat to everybody around him. Shooting him from a safe distance is a wholly reasonable response.

Good luck. The law describes the conditions and this doesn't fly. The use of deadly force has constraints.

Wait, just above you're asking for a lawyer to answer the issue, and now you're claiming certainty?

You shouldn't, because you're wrong and an idiot.

Arkansas 5-2-620. Use of force to defend persons and property within home.
(a) The right of an individual to defend himself or herself and the life of a person or property in the individual's home against harm, injury, or loss by a person unlawfully entering or attempting to enter or intrude into the home is reaffirmed as a fundamental right to be preserved and promoted as a public policy in this state.
(b) There is a legal presumption that any force or means used to accomplish a purpose described in subsection (a) of this section was exercised in a lawful and necessary manner, unless the presumption is overcome by clear and convincing evidence to the contrary.
(c) The public policy stated in subsection (a) of this section shall be strictly complied with by the court and an appropriate instruction of this public policy shall be given to a jury sitting in trial of criminal charges brought in connection with this public policy. History. Acts 1981, No. 880, § 1; A.S.A. 1947, § 41-507.1.

5-2-607. Use of deadly physical force in defense of a person.
(a) A person is justified in using deadly physical force upon another person if the person reasonably believes that the other person is: (1) Committing or about to commit a felony involving force or violence; (2) Using or about to use unlawful deadly physical force; or (3) (A) Imminently endangering the person's life or imminently about to victimize the person as described in § 9-15-103 from the continuation of a pattern of domestic abuse. (B) As used in this section, “domestic abuse” means the same as defined in § 9-15-103.
(b) A person may not use deadly physical force in self-defense if he or she knows that he or she can avoid the necessity of using deadly physical force with complete safety: (1) (A) By retreating. (B) However, a person is not required to retreat if the person is: (i) In the person's dwelling or on the curtilage surrounding the person's dwelling and was not the original aggressor; or (ii) A law enforcement officer or a person assisting at the direction of a law enforcement officer; or (2) By surrendering possession of property to a person claiming a lawful right to possession of the property.
(c) As used in this section, “curtilage” means the land adjoining a dwelling that is convenient for family purposes and habitually used for family purposes, but not necessarily enclosed, and includes an outbuilding that is directly and intimately connected with the dwelling and in close proximity to the dwelling. History. Acts 1975, No. 280, § 507; A.S.A. 1947, § 41-507; Acts 1997, No. 1257, § 1; 2007, No. 111, § 1.

There's no explicite Castle Doctrine on the books in Oregon, but there have been several high profile instances of home owners shooting and even killing burglars without facing any criminal charges, even if the perps were unarmed. So if you're on my property and you try to hurt my cat, I'll kill you, mother****er!

dp! WTF?

[Heraclitus]

Yeah and behead Mike Vick

So stupid when you're willing to put HUMANS to death over a freaking animal.

Rich Western Whites are really stupid in that way. Completely ****ed up sense of ethics and scale. Even 4chan which laughs at CP and pictures of murder and torture is totally freaked out by a crazy Asian lady stomping on kittens. Or people *****ing about first world problems is another example.

Any man that can stand by and watch a home intruder carve the word liberal into the side of a family pet for 10 years and doesn't feel the need to stop it however possible, is not a man that I have any respect for.
If you have no problem watching, then you're a bigger dick than I thought and obviously have messed up ethics.

Obviously that is wrong. What I'm rating over is that that people seem less shocked and less worked up by stories of humans being tortured.

[SlowwHand]

I sincerely doubt that's true.

Almost everybody has owned and loved a cat or dog at some point. Almost nobody has owned and/or loved a Burmese or North Korean citizen. How do you expect people to react?

[rah]

I sincerely doubt that's true.

Agreed

[DaShi]

Cats are murderers. They can't survive on plant matter.

Cats also kill for fun.

That really doesn't make any sense, especially coming from someone who has a child now.

[loinburger]

I doubt that Elok's kid is Burmese or North Korean

[Elok]

The wife would have some serious 'splainin' to do if he were.
