Always brings a smile to my face...

Citizens of Red Bird, I salute you on a job well done.

 

So what you're saying is that merely being accused or suspected of a crime without having received their due process is adequate cause for whatever vigilante action the public takes it upon itself to dole out? :flow2:

 

What about all the mothers not being raped in the first place out there?

Any smiles for that?

Or, just the stories that end in biblical vengeance?

 

Must be the Christian values that make this smile-inducing.

In that case, I'm glad I don't have them

 

No, he's sayin' that some people just need killin'.

 

If the accused need killin', why bother with trials?

 

Now you've got it!

 

I only support such actions when guilt is obvious and irrefutable.

 

^ As determined by whom?

 

This question makes no sense.

You are just now noting a distinct lack of what are stereotypically regarded as "Christian values" in my posts?


Fine detective work there Sherlock.

 

I'm not dancing with you....I walk past an alley > I see a guy mugging an old lady > I take a 2 by 4 to his head.

No "trial" needed.


Anything you want to know beyond that...you'll have to puzzle out for yourself

 

Well allow me to retort.....

HE WAS CAUGHT IN THE ACT, ON THE SCENE!

That is all...carry on.

 

No, I don't suppose it would to you.

 

How delightfully unconstitutional

 

Do you need an actual videotape of the sex act, with her stating that the act is not consentual? Fuck, I hope some of you people aren't my neighbors if someone breaks into my house.

 

If you live next door to me and someone breaks into your house, I'll gladly run over and help. I'll gladly call the cops, I'll gladly incapacitate the robber, I'll gladly untie you and your loved ones if need be.

But I'm not going to help you beat the fuck out of the now-defenceless robber afterwards. Sorry if that makes me a pussy.

 

In other words, you're not going to resort to criminal behavior yourself to punish a criminal.

Because if you do, how are you any better then they are?

 

I'm sorry, but if you're not willing to help me get rid of the body after I catch the bastard in the act of brutalizing and raping my wife, you're not someone I would count on as a friend.

 

How did he get the chance, Hercules?

 

But don't you have guns? Doesn't that deter anyone from breaking into your house?

Especially to steal the guns?

 

Lots of Constitution haters here

But then, so many people tend to treat the Bill Of Rights like a buffet

 

Most people have these things called "jobs" where we "work" to make "money". Since these places are usually NOT in the same place that we live, and since my wife has one of these "jobs" of her own, we don't spend 24/7 together.

You'll note that I put certain words you may not understand in quotations. I recommend you look them up so you can better understand how normal people live.

 

Bullshit.

the Constitution describes what the GOVERNMENT may do.

the LAW describes what you and I may do.

 

It's just, I thought all the WF macho men could, y'know, instantly travel anywhere via a wormhole they ripped in the fabric of reality with their bare hands, and then use those same bare hands to reduce a perpetrator down to hamburger boogers, and jelid fat extrusions.

That has to be true, otherwise, it's all been prick waving and bullshit.
And that just can't be!

 

Indeed...and all of the people who beat this guy up are entitled to the same due process for their criminal behavior as the guy they beat up

 

Maybe a second set of vigilante's can catch them beating up the rapist. And so on ad infinitum.

 

You are familiar with the concept "justifiable homicide"?

I file this under "justifiable assault"


That said, I'm not saying any of the folks involved should be immune from dealing with the legal consequences. I think to keep such things to only the most obvious cases it is best that the law take note and at least administer some sort of hearing in the matter.

 

Justifiable assault...for every single person involved in the brawl?

How do you figure?

From a legal standpoint, not a sentimental one.
