Special note to those who might pack heat; it has recently come to Husky's attention that shooting a culprit more than once may result in charges brought followed by a conviction and time in the big house. OTH, Perps, muggers and scum, can shoot you 886 times straight, no problem. You, on the other hand, have to show that you were not acting too aggressively. Be aware that even with these safeguards, you still might be sued civilly. It's a lawsuit happy world out there.

Husky believes that if Zimmerman had pulled the trigger multiple times, it is possible he would have been convicted and sent straight to Cell Block #9. The Oklahoma City Pharmacist pulled the trigger multiple times which resulted in his conviction.

Remember, be nice to criminals and the system will be nice to you!!

You and Tom W ought to have a catch up to speed get-together, then your comments will make sense, hopefully.

The nuts are running the asylum......

This. Z shot TM ONE TIME ONLY. OTH, Pharma man fired multiple guns multiple times into the perp. Z beat the rap while Pharma was sent to Cell Block #9. Had Pharma duplicated Z's methods and fired only one bullet into the perp, most likely Pharma would be back working at his pharmacy.

If working at a pharmacy and a group of thugs comes into the store to rob you, and you have decided to have a firearm in the store to protect yourself and your employes, best have only ONE gun with only ONE bullet in the clip. That way you won't "over react". The perp, OTH, isn't required to play by the same rules. I'm sure you understand.

It's a PC world nowadays. Best hop on the train.

How many crimes are NOT "hate" related? Does it matter? Do we punish actions, or intents?

There are some media critics who claim videos of knockout violence could in fact help fuel incidents of the crime, but Butts refutes this: "The media are never responsible for how people behave, ..."


If you think the media is responsible then you agree that the "game" is real- if you think the media is not responsible then you disagree that the game is fake. Either way the "game" is real.

Of course the media is not responsible for this, the question is would media reports of this or that leader denouncing it do any good. More likely IMO it would do the reverse.
