What is the law? Shoot 'em or not? (bankrupt, to live in)

[badnews59]

if outside shoot and kill them throw there butt through a window {make sure they are stone cold dead}dead people can't lie in court!! make sure you clean up any and all blood from outside before calling 911 you could also buy a toy gun to throw down with the victem like the police do (make sure to wipe off your prints and put the now deseased persons fingerprints on it

if inside if you can go to the farerest area away from the intruder and blow the person away i would rather take my chance with a jury trail then to be killed againe make sure the intruder is stone cold dead and even if their hands are holding your belongings that can if used the wrong manner then intended they can become a weapon also

then if all else you can always claim temporary insanity or do like OJ and pretend to have diffuculty with any evidence also you can just forget about calling 911 and just roll the NOW dead creep up in a tarp and dump it along a road someplace and make sure you wear gloves and goggle evidence so you can see what kind of evidence you want to get rid of

Good Luck and Happy Hunting

You cannot shoot someone over private property. You can shoot to defend yourself or someone else whose life is threatened by physical force.

I'm not sure what I would do in that situation but legally it's not a problem.

Dead people can't sue you and can't give their side of the story.

But their families CAN sue you and frequently do.

No one wants to kill someone else. It seems clear that the law states one can defend one's self but other than that . . . you can't do a thing. If someone does not have a weapon and is carrying objects out of your house, it appears you are gonna get indicted for homicide for killing them, and you may end up in jail. Who knows? It's a crazy world out there.

The alternative to using a firearm would be mace, if someone is on your property stealing objects (or ripping off an A/C or car). But dear me, I can just see myself running up to Big Mr. Bad Ass Criminal and saying "BAD BAD BAD. Here's what you get" and then trying to get a straight shot into his face w/ mace.

Now, more likely, if it were one guy, I would be swinging a baseball bat at him. But I believe whacking someone up side the head w/ an aluminum baseball bat would be considered deadly force . . . even tho no one would think (surely) that most females are gonna be able to hit much of a homerun at my age. I guess if you maim some thug, it would be up to the DA to decide how to call that one.

And as several others have mentioned - let's just say I did whack the creep and crack his skull. He probably has no health insurance, so the family is gonna sue me to pay for his medical bills. It is ludicrous, but that seems to be how our system works - we are so quick to protect the rights of the criminals in our society - and so slow to do a blame thing about the victims.

How did this come about?

Why? You're practically immune to prosecution as a female with an intruder in your house. Don't take a risk with a bat, grab the hardware and take care of bin'ness.

Because we are a society full of victims, and blame is quickly becoming a word of the past. You can thank our friends to the left for this on multiple fronts.

I didn't read the middle pages.. but why is every so amped up to shoot people. I understand they are criminals if they are stealing something from your home or car; but not everyone is out to take your life. Defend yourself appropriatly but I for one would rather give up my life than risk taking the wrong life. Yes, I will will protect my family and friends with due diligence, but I don't go seeking it. Posessions are just that. Easily replaceable. If they want the Tv that bad, take it. I probably should read more anyway!

(and before anyone comments, "you have to be there to know", I have been through enough of these to experiences in my lifetime and it will not change who I am)
