Pharmacist Found Guilty of Murder..Faces Life in Prison

[NVplumber]

I really cannot fathom all the moral outrage effected by certain thought processes about this. Ok...fine the guy coulda let it go with the punk on the floor and the robbery thwarted. Seems to me be just got pissed.....and cut loose his own brand of "moral outrage". Its be easy to get so swept away. With all the garbage our legal system spews on honest citizens and the mooning it espouses on the rights of obviously guilty criminals....its easy to see how an outraged citizen could see red in such a case az this. Lmao....kinda funny how all the leftys are howling about this guys acting as a defacto legal system when they themselves would be totally willing to string him up on their own vi en the chance. Being a progressive or liberal must magically elevate a person above the human condition the rest of us are stuck with.

The allow me to help, it might be tough because it is a moral/legal thing.

"Ok...fine the guy coulda let it go with the punk on the floor and the robbery thwarted."

Coulda? You mean shoulda because the law in every jurisdiction of the United States is very clear on this one tiny point, once an eminent threat has been eliminated the use of force, especially deadly force must cease. This holds true for law enforcement as it does for civilians.

I don't think that I am going out on too much of a limb in stating that being pissed is the basis for pretty much 99.9% of all the murders committed. As for cutting loose his own brand of "moral outrage" well, again I don't think that I am going out of a limb in stating that "moral outrage" isn't part and parcel of most murders either (see honor killings etc) so there was nothing moral about shooting someone hors de combat.

Its be easy to get so swept away.

Yes it is which is why I suppose we have such a high murder rate.

"kinda funny how all the leftys are howling about this guys acting as a defacto legal system when they themselves would be totally willing to string him up on their own vi en the chance."

Well since "leftys" as a general rule are opposed to capital punishment, I think that we can leave the rope out of the equation but you are right that we would be yelling for this guy to be tried before a jury of his peers and we would hope that they would return a verdict of guilty and appropriately sentenced for his offenses. Of course silly us would also demand that his 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendment rights would be assiduously protected, silly us actually believing in the Bill of Rights.

No not really. Progressives and liberals possess the same base instincts as any other human. I know because I have witnessed the deadly fury that lefties can unleash when placed in a life and death battle but what we also recognize is the we as a society develop rules to guard against those moments when even the most progressive thinkers forget that they must live in a moral society.

As always, I'm here to clear up any misunderstandings that you may have about Constitutional, human or moral rights. Although it is getting tiresome.
