I am definitely going to put lights on palm trees.
Send me some please and thank you!I bought some CBD buds and made cannabutter! Just making a huge batch of epic brownies with 80% cocoa chocolate and white and milk chocolate chips and some chopped up salted caramel fuge with some extra sea salt thrown in too, they look and smell amazing, out the oven in 7 mins lol
I would say that killing them does incapacitate them. JSI consider myself quite left leaning but I foolishly argued with an even more left leaning person about guns, and they said that I would be "just as much of a murderer" if I killed a school shooter instead of trying to "incapacitate" them.
Self defense isn't immoral.I consider myself quite left leaning but I foolishly argued with an even more left leaning person about guns, and they said that I would be "just as much of a murderer" if I killed a school shooter instead of trying to "incapacitate" them. (As if there'd even be time to stop and carefully aim for their hands or legs)
What.
I don't understand how killing a school shooter who has killed many people already is a bad thing. Is it no longer acceptable to kill to protect the masses anymore? Do we have to value everyone's life, even at the cost of other peoples' lives? I don't understand how someone could possibly say to my face that I'm a piece of shit for "wanting" to kill a school shooter, should the situation arise. Children's lives are at stake in a situation like that, there is no time to try and incapacitate them. There is no choice but to either kill them or let them continue their rampage, and quite frankly I choose the first any day. If that makes me "morally corrupt" then so be it. It's really disgusting honestly that they value the life of a murderer over the lives of innocent children. And that they had the audacity to say I shouldn't be allowed near guns...because I'm willing to use them. They're comparing me, someone who would be willing to murder a murderer (which is perfectly legal in my state, especially if they're actively murdering others as it happens), to someone who wakes up and decides they're going to spray a bunch of high schoolers with bullets.
Actually, it's not just disgusting, it's extremely infuriating. I don't think I'm going to be friends with these 3 people anymore if they seriously call me morally corrupt for wanting to save lives.
Yes. And as I explained to these 3, it's actually much more difficult to incapacitate someone with a shot to the leg, even if they aren't expecting it and even if it hits just right to make their leg muscles collapse. They still weren't having it and said there is "never a justification for killing someone", completely unwilling to accept that not killing a school shooter would end in even more tragedy. Also, most of the time what happens when you non-fatally (or at least not-as-soon-to-be-fatal) shoot a criminal, they get more mad and will fire back. I brought this conversation up with my father who is a retired police officer, and he confirmed with me that, assuming you don't just straight up miss the school shooter, chances are they're going to turn around and spray YOU with bullets. There really is no other option in that scenario (or any scenario where you're dealing with an armed criminal, i.e. a burglary) other than aiming to kill. Besides, there's no way you'd step a foot into prison for killing a school shooter. Even if guns weren't allowed on campus, chances are you'd be forgiven for it.I would say that killing them does incapacitate them. JS
I agree. They clearly don't. I didn't even realize one could have a different opinion on this, I thought it was pretty common sense. But they're all from Europe, so I should've expected them to have a skewed, warped idea of morality.Self defense isn't immoral.
