    my ex tried pulling something; now the FBI is investigating her; her attorney; and a judge. you don't mess with me!

    meth heads did it in my neighbourhood. evidently; a newly activated phone sells for a good days worth of meth. they've got nothing better to do so they waited for ups.

    when you order from a new company; you set the passwords.

    and they know which ups packages are delivering phones how?

    I haven't read the five pages of this thread that went up overnight, btu I had this thought yesterday while driving home.

    Let's say that this lady let him rape her, so teh cops could sort it out later. Leaving out the brain tumour, the court transcipt might read like this..



    BArrister - Tell me what happened ?
    Witness (lady) - He came into my bedroom and held a knife to my throat
    B - Did you try to defend yourself ?
    W - Well there was a gun on my nightstand, but I was worried I might kill him if I used it.
    B- So what did you do ?
    W - Well , I grabbed the gun, but I let him rape me, because justice should be handled by teh police and the courts.
    B - So, let me get this right, you had a gun, but you did not use it ?
    W - That's right.
    B - One moretime, you bought a gun, had it close by, you held it in your hand, but you did not use it, even tough you were being raped at knifepoint.
    W - Yes.
    B- No more questions, your honour.
    Music is not a competetion.

    i'm trying to find justice for the poor dead guy with the brain tumor. he wasn't responsable for his actions. he wasn't in control of his mind. she; on the other hand; was ready to kill. i wonder if she was loaded with hollow points for a sure kill. were they full load (maximum gunpowder)? how did she hit this {assumed} moving target in the dark? she must have prepared for her chance to kill someone.

    :rolleyes:

    im surprised you can express sympathy for the dead guy with a straight face.

    moving target? he had a knife to her throat. even if i could hit somebody with a knife to my throat in any sort of light.

    buy a gun and sleep peacefully.

    You must sleep like LEON in one of my favorite movies The Professional. If you saw the movie he slept in a chair next to a lamp with his shades on and his auto-silencer by his side. That's till Matilda came into his life.

    I must have seen that movie 10 times when it came out. I must have been stressed out at the time due to getting married back then. Loved the movie and how he took care of that plant like it was man's best friend a dog.

    .....then old lady turns and looks at the broken glass

    Funny, Funny scene...this movie was on last night and went to sleep with running and I caught this scene again then quietly smiled myself to sleep without a gun lying next to me. :)

    she SAYS he had a knife to her throat; yet she was able to open a night stand drawer; fumble about for a gun; get it properly situated in her hand; and shoot him without hitting herself. the bullet most likely passed through him at that range so she had to get the angle just right. and since she was able to do that; he had to be moving about. and since less that 10% of gunshot wounds are fatal; she knew right where to shoot him.

    they were shipped overnight by fedex. they knew they'd be there by 10:30 am. haven't you ever ordered a phone via internet or phone?

    if you look back; i'm using your own agruments yet now you don't agree with your own arguments. wasn't it you that said there'd be a wrongful death suit in almost every citizen shooting?


    (private note: i threatened a judge yesterday so we'll see what she thinks she can do)

    if a dog bites someone twice; they'll put him down. he doesn't have to have rabies.

    i suppose i sleep like the woman in the story. i know i have protection at arms length so i sleep wonderfully. now i have a dog though. he likes to watch the tele and always knows who the bad guy is. (growls). he's friendly to those friendly to me but his instinct to protect me is unbelievable.

    ok, are you making the point he should have 2 freebie rapes before being shot...or am i being touchy?

    he shouldn't have ANY free rapes. i was replying to a post about dogs which was totally off topic. my neighbours dog attacked me on my own property so i shot it. i didn't ask if he attacked someone else prior. if attacked; i will protect myself. be it a mountain lion; dog; or person.
    i think the housewife did the right thing. i was asking for others opinions here. only because they flip-flop from day to day. they say she was correct to shoot this attacker; yet they don't believed an armed shopper at the nebraska mall should have shot the guy who killed 8 innocent people. more women carry guns than men. women are more likely victims. i would have risked my life to save innocent victims. i want to understand why other wouldn't.
