killing someone who is trying to rob you

Violent culture? lol. I'll take my country's "violent culture" of victims killing their assailants over other nations' "violent cultures" of assailants robbing and killing their unarmed victims any day.

But if everybody would get out with 0 chance of getting hurt, then killing is wrong.

yes. just like killing is an easy choice when you are 100% sure he is going to kill you after he gets your wallet

but you dont know that

I agree completely.
I defiently think if you go robbing people you must realize their is a risk that your going to run into the wrong person.
If this was a home invansion is it safe to just start shooting as a home owner when the door busts open or do you wait to see their intent?

You defiently have to do something to protect yourself

This British girl hears a story about elderly American tourists getting robbed by armed Costa Ricans and her reaction is that Americans suck.

Depends on where you live. In some states, you could empty a clip into a completely unarmed burglar and not be charged with anything.

People have the right to defend themselves against violent attackers, period. If, when doing so, the attacker dies, that's too bad for him. I have no sympathy, and I certainly would never in a million years give someone a day of jail time for doing this if I were on a jury.

I applaud this man for doing what he did. Good for him.

if anyone read the article, you'll notice that the 70 yr old just tried to disarm the criminal and put him in a headlock, and he was declared dead later from asphyxiation.

I would definitely kill the mugger, even if I was pretty sure he wouldn't kill me and I didn't have much money on me. [censored] him.

G. Gordon Liddy, a former attorney, former watergate conspirator, and nationally syndicated AM talk radio host had some direct advice for for those who are attacked by a mugger and have a gun to defend themselves.

1. Kill the mugger. If he is still breathing put two more bullets into him.
2. Go home and do NOT call the police.
3. Destroy the gun's ballistic evidence.

Liddy says going to the police will result in possible charges against YOU. Years of legal bills fighting a civil lawsuit with liberal lawyers asking you questions like 'why didn't you just wound him', etc.... In short, your life savings will evaporate and the next several years of your life will be in a courtroom.

Liddy recommends carrying a revolver to defend yourself. First, a revolver has no safety, so you can just point and shoot. With a semiauto, if you forget to switch the safety off, you could have a knife in the belly. Second, it is easier to destroy the ballistic evidence with a revolver. File down the firing pin and use a rat-tail file to scratch the inside of the barrel. Then diassemble and throw the gun away. With a semi auto, there are additional steps that need to be taken to destroy the ballistic evidence...

Good luck and good hunting. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I don't see a problem with it. Its not like you are hurting society by it. The person is a robber/mugger. Just kill him.
