At that point they are no longer a "law abiding citizen" then, are they?


Yes. A poor comparison. I will agree with you on that.
Right which is exactly what I meant.  I think you just like to argue Olias.

  I think the Stand Your Ground law was well intended, so many people who were on their on property, in their own business, in their homes have had to go through the criminal system and great expense to save themselves from going to prison when someone was robbing or assaulting them and they defended themselves.

  But if the law is too vague, not well written it surely be misused.  Not to long a go a jewelry store owner was sent to prison for shooting and killing an armed robber on his way out of the business.  The prosecutor said he had no business shooting the armed robber as the robber was leaving the business and was no danger to the owner or the customers.  :azz:  The armed robber was still in his store, still had the gun in his hand and carrying a bag of the owner's money and jewelry.   And the wonder Judaical system sent him to prison.   :mad: :mad: :mad: :angry:

  But what truly gets me is the dumbasses on the jury convicted him.  :rant:
That is a shame and it happens all the time unfortunately.  For all they know he could have turned around when he was standing in the doorway on his way out and shot them all so there would be no witnesses.  They should have never convicted the store owner IMO.  In fact he shouldn't have even been arrested in the first place.

It isn't my logic it's my way of expressing it.  I will admit most of the time I have a problem putting my thoughts into words and I really need to work on that.  No, I don't call a locksmith to unlock my convertible when the top is down either.  :razz:

  With that logic I suppose you didn't get your Corvette Ziebarted either.   :wink: :smile:

That reminds me ...  Just got a call from my mom ... a friend of hers from across the state line in West Virginia was riding in the back of a pickup truck. It crashed over the bank into a flooded creek. Her friend that was in the back drowned. Couldn't get the tailgate down.

NBC has now fired three people from two different offices over at least two different edits of George Zimmerman's now infamous 9-1-1 call prior to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.

Both edits were clearly designed to portray Zimmerman as a racist while raising tensions in an already volatile situation.  This latest firing from NBC once again goes unexplained. 

The Media Research Center went on the record after uncovering their first edit that NBC is a network out of control point that their two-sentence (non)apology hidden on their website, was an insult.

The truth has been withheld from NBC's own viewers now for more than one month. 

Do the network executives at NBC think that this is acceptable?

What about the board and shareholders of Comcast?  Is it acceptable for a news organization to consciously and constantly lie to its viewers?

NBC News president Steve Capus admitted that they "probably" should have apologized on-air; NBC still has yet to do so. Even the local NBC affiliate that doctored the clip has fired the offender and apologized and retracted on-air.

Correct.

Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.
