An occupational hazard for a thief or justification for a murder charge?

[MrFun]

Blood is a pain to get out of carpets, Fun.

You're being incredibly naive. Or you're just trolling.

So now any criminal who murders someone, can explain away their attempts in covering up with that excuse??

[ColdWizard]

Have you ever tried to get someone's blood out of your carpet?

I decline to answer under the rights afforded me under the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution.

[MrFun]

Isn't it illegal in itself, to alter a possible crime scene?

Best thing to do if you shot or killed someone in self defense, is to call the cops without doing anything else.

[DinoDoc]

The criminals broke into his house.

[MrFun]

The criminals broke into his house.

Right. And what I'm saying ....

is after killing the trespassers in self defense (LOLZ), he should have kept everything as was, and called the cops.


Where am I arguing about the criminals breaking into his home??

[Felch]

If this was a live meatspace conversation and I, just happening to be armed because we're in a bad neighborhood full of trolls, shot you dead for saying that, it's murder two. Assume I didn't come here looking for trouble, or you, for the sake of my lame hypothetical.

If you were on the ground bleeding because you were standing behind Ben, also trolling, when I killed him, during the brief time it took me to reload, I could have left, I could have used the report button, I could have PMed Ming, or I could have put my boot on your chest and waited for the cops. If I then blow your butt away anyway, I'm a murderer in the first degree, depending on the jurisdiction, how good my lawyer is, and a lot of random luck factors. -But that makes for premeditation, maybe, IMAO.

That you needed killin' excuses nothing.

I'm more interested in the ethical discussion than the legal aspects. Asked and answered?

No that's not an answer. It's a vaguely threatening metaphoric example. What do you think premeditated means? How would you define it in your own words?

For example, my definition of premeditation: Rationally thinking about or planning an action before entering the situation.

That can just be one among several definitions of premeditation.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

It damn well is an answer.

My definition is irrelevant anyway; we're just haggling about the price.

[Felch]

I know that other people might have different definitions. That's why I'm asking BU what his definition is.

[MrFun]

His definition and your definition could both be right.

[Felch]

Whatever. Yet again you refuse to discuss a matter like an adult. Maybe you should just stick with calling me a troll and posting creepy photos of girls with eating disorders.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

I can't give you a simple answer to a question about a complex issue, Felch.

Maybe I'd call you a troll less if you trolled less. Try not to burst into flames for that adult crack.

[Felch]

His definition and your definition could both be right.

No ****. Until we set down what we each think a word means though, we can't really have a rational discussion, right? My goal is to communicate better by trying to find out what other people mean when they use specific words. I offered what I thought was a reasonable definition, and I was hoping that he might have a reasonable definition of his own.

[Felch]

I can't give you a simple answer to a question about a complex issue, Felch.

Defining a word is not a complex issue.

[Guynemer]

I know that other people might have different definitions. That's why I'm asking BU what his definition is.

I'd just like to point out that you are nitpicking about definitions.
