While I don't generally disagree with you, you just can't excecute someone after they're down and unable to continue their "attack" or invasion.
It's clear murder and I would be more than satisfied with proper justice being served for this equally of a scumbag person. snip
I don't know if I'd call him a scumbag, but clearly he needs to serve time, as I've said repeatedly, he went overboard when he executed the girl; although, I can see someone saying they put her out of her misery. Why he didn't call the cops though in all seriousness, I'm not sure. There are strange people out there for sure, will be interesting to see how this is explained in court.
The fact that he drug one of the incapacitated bodies, while she was gasping for air and obviously laying on the ground, put a revolver under her chin and pulled the trigger?
Yes, and that's why I've repeatedly said, he should serve time.
I don't care how much scum a person is, we have a legal system that punishes people for being scum. That was a calculated and cold blooded murder regardless of the "scummyness" of the person he shot. If shooting scum was OK or even simply as trivial as you make it half of ATOT would be dead.
Our "justice system" did a massively good job of failing this guy, especially when he needed it most. Using that as a pro in your argument, no matter how technically right, isn't very strong. When you're in a situation that's not legal,
legality is really not something you should always be going by.
BTW, I almost always side with homeowners in B&E shootings. This however turned into cold blooded murder, you just can't slice it any other way and frankly you don't want to. If the gun community, or even a majority of them, stood up and supported this guy you would see a reversal of the looser gun/self defense laws we enjoy in a lot of states real quick.
It turned into murder, I don't know if I'd call it cold blooded without this guy explaining in context why he killed her. Even dragging her next to the guy can be easily explained, I don't know why such a big deal is being made of that. For sure he should serve time. Lots of time? Not sure I'd go that far...
