i can't trust you because many people who think that way get murdered anyways
and IF you were one of the many people murdered
IF it was you
you would want him to live a life

seriously, i'm confused to how anti dp people think

you can kill in SELF defense
but if you are murdered, we should not kill?

think about it. i am able to forgive anything. i would not want you to kill my killer as revenge and i would not want you to kill my killer in an attempt to make things even. it would not be your responsibility to do something like that. i would want you to remember me and get my killer the psychological help that he obviously would have been lacking.

you say you do not want any harm to come to your attacker if he kills you

yet

you would, if given the chance during the attack, kill him

still confused here

IT IS TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!!!

seriously think about it. i can defend myself, and if i lose i lose. me defending myself and killing an attacker is heat of the moment not premeditated. capital punishment is premeditated. it is not your duty nor anyone else's to take revenge on my behalf.

could you kill someone if they attacked you and you felt it would be your only way to survive?
would you?
my guess is that you would, if needed to

then why is it that you feel that if it was YOUR life that was in danger of being taken, the person can die?

but for all the other murderers in this world, they should rot in prison.

is it hypocritical to be against the dp and defend yourself with a weapon if attacked?


once again
this is not about "bringing someone back"
the murderer has done things that prevent that

absolutely not. it is not hypocritical to defend your life against an attacker. im certainly not going to stand there andv allow myself to be raped, murdered or whatever else an attacker intends to visit upon me. if i were fighting for my life, i would fight. i would do everything in my power to stop the attack. if the attacker ends up dead then that is just too bad. my priority in this instance is MY life.

for you to compare the premeditated execution of a someone with a struggle to protect oneself is ludicrous.

daily writing additions to a decent story for the final act of a book
all typed into a ball of shit and piss

cate

that is my point
i expect you to try to defend your self
and if killing an attacker is how to do it, great
but why is it ok to kill during an attack to defend yourself
and then not ok to kill the attacker if he murders you

because execution is premeditated state sanctioned murder. it is vengeance not justice. fighting for my life against an attacker is just that... fighting for my life.

you know what??? its not ok to kill, but if it saves my life from imminent attack then so be it. id prefer a swift kick to the nuts to do the job, but sometimes youve got to go further. and that is a shame.

"its not ok to kill, but if it saves my life from imminent attack then so be it"

that sounds hypocritical to me

we can't punish a murderer with the death penalty

but you are ready to kill a person who may only be planning to rob your house

and if someone kills their 5 kids and wife

you think to execute him would be premeditated murder

i apologise for using the term imminent attack. it was the wrong wordage. i would never be ready to kill someone who entered my house to rob it. i care nothing for my possessions. i was speaking of an attack on my person.

of course execution is pre meditated state sanctioned murder. how can it not be premditated??

so it starts as a robbery
escalates to an attack
just because he did not know you were there
and you struggle
and you kill him in self-defense
with his weapon
it's happened before

execution is premeditated
it is not murder

well if the robber is intent on doing me bodily harm then im afraid i will feel the need to defend myself. it will not be my intention to kill the attacker but if thats what it takes to stop them and i am unable to esape then so be it.

murder implies intent. an execution is the intentional state sanctioned killing of someone.. therefore it is murder. just cause its law doesnt make it any less murder.

Just catching up on several of the posts tonight...

If a person kills in self-defense, they are defending themselves.

Several you think it is ok to place yourself in the role of "watching out for others" or "safeguarding others" when it is nothing more than self-appointed. A singular person defending themselves from attack which ends up in death, is no where near the same as an outside 3rd party self-proclaiming it is their duty for others to step in and dictate revenge, a punishment or similar. This is nothing more than glorified retaliation on behalf of the state and calling it "lawful and moral".

It'd sooner appreciate to simply hear from people they want to rid society of scum (as chadwick has pretty much stated) than utter disillusionment about some bs cause for the greater good. Just be honest about it.

i fully understand defending oneself
it is not murder
i just do not get a person saying they could kill in self-defense
but if they were murdered
they would only want the murderer to serve a prison sentence
and society should "watch out for others" and "safegfuard others"
that is what society does when they send a person to a prison
or sentence a person to death

and, i want to rid society of scum FOR the greater good, honestly

FiveB247x

You're making the assumption that everyone feels it would be for the same greater good to get rid of scum, compared to letting someone rot in jail for life. Also, many recognize that killing a guilty person is more a sign of vengeance than justice - and the moral code to set forth in society doesn't stop the cycle, it continues it, so they choose to end it by not being for the death penalty.
