Thread: Shoot um up

  1. #1

    Shoot um up

    I'm interested in the threshold where people think it's ok to take a shotgun and blow somebody's head off.

    I've tried to arrange the situations in order of increasing seriousness, so that if you vote for one situation, you'd also vote for the crimes about it. I know its not perfect. So shoot me.

    There are a couple of them where I wouldn't hesitate to shoot somebody. If you can kill a deer, you can kill a person and eat them.

    Ridiculous. When is it OK for anything 100% of the time? I know you think you're funny, but you're the only one laughing, and you're no Andy Kauffman.

    I'm not being funny. Alright, fine, it is hard to sign-on 100% for some of the categories. Then pick a category and explain what criteria the shotgun holder should use in deciding when to fire.

    You are just a Sears MExican and the closest you ever came to a gang was watching Spanky & Our Gang on TV. I can't believe anybody still believes your bullshit. You are no vato loco, girlfriend. ( i learned that word at the same place you learn all your slang talk.)

    Can we start a gang for this? The thought of a mob of packerrats assaulting Harlan's hovel and taking everything that's not nailed down seems like a good idea. It would be cathartic and should only take a minute or two. Maybe we could burn it all in his front yard while chanting "yes we can!"

    Can some legal eagle weigh in here. Is insider trading considering a property crime as Harlan suggests?

    If someone is in my home threatening my family I'll kill them...if they are inside my home they better surrender fast or they are dead. If they run I'll let them go as long as nobody was hurt....although I'd be tempted to shoot them just on principles but many have gone to jail here for intruders shot outside the home. I'm not going to shoot someone because they broke into my fucking car..property is replaceable.

    I agree. Although if you do shoot them on the way out make sure they are dead. I think the judicial system is screwed up if someone goes to jail for shooting an intruder. I'd also vote to shoot someone for rape, child molestation, and wife or child beating.

    In the Joe Horn story, there were no intruders. Just a couple of Columbians in the neighbor's yard running away with some loot. Still, many people thought it was ok to shoot um in the back.

    I think most of it comes down to how pissed-off you are. People get pissed-off by burglars, the thought of burglary hits close to home, so they don't mind Joe wasting the columbians. But lets say the bank manager catches an employee sneaking off with some money, most people wouldn't agree with the bank manager getting a shotgun out of his closet and wasting the thief.

    I'm gonna fill a squirt gun with ejaculate, and don't think I'll be afraid to use it. Nobody messes with my stuff.
