Re: Despite almost being beaten to death, Woman charged with murder for defending her

I wonder is strongsmart( I just can't bring my self to say sexy) is going to answer my question?

So anyone who commits assault should be shot.

Remember that the next time you or one of your friends gets in a fight and hits someone cause that, my friend, is assault.

Dude, she got her brain damaged and other serious injuries. Please wake up.

This was not an assault

This was a case of armed robbery & assault with an attempt to kill

Big difference between this and some kids fighting

Oh, we have confirmation of that? Didn't see it posted. Regardless, you cannot shoot someone who has assaulted you and is clearly fleeing. There is a lot of advocation on here for guns and vigilante justice but this is not the Wild West. It is supposed to be a civilized society. By your logic, anyone who is assaulted can kill the person after the fact. Where do you draw the line? 2 minutes after? 5 minutes after? 2 hours? A week?

Where do you draw the line on what type of assault deserves vigilante retribution? Someone who punches you? Someone who breaks a few bones? Gives you a concussion?

Ok, this has gotten rediculous. Let's just leave it as this.

SSS and you other guys against this, if someone attacks you with a weapon or you are the victom of a violent crime its your choice to remain a victom. If you want to just take it, that is fine, let the police or someone else try to find them later.

As for the rest of us, if someone does something along those lines to us, we can just refuse to stand for it, shoot them, and save the rest of you some tax dollars. Problem solved.

We can all do whatever our morality dictates on this one, and let the legal system sort it out from there. Everyone is happy. Now, lets all leave this thread and play nice.

Actually, you shooting him is going to cost me a lot more tax dollars when you have to go through a big trial and are incarcerated for a short or very long period of time (depending on the outcome)

No, if they assault me with a weapon, I can prove self defense. If I find them later I will not be caught.

I can't believe people are actually defending the scum who assaulted her. Don't say you're not either, because you are. Whether it's indirectly or not, you're basically saying you defend his right to assault someone as long as he flees afterwards.

I love it how when someone says, "he deserved what he got" you people immediately jump to the conclusion that we want everyone who commits assault to be put to death. I mean cmon, the whole point of this fucking thread is that she shouldn't charged with murder. If you don't agree with that then well, you have a seriously fucked up idea of justice.

I seriously cannot believe some of the posts on this thread.

Dude, since you're canadian, read the Criminal Code and the different types of assault: assault, assault causing bodily harm, armed assault and aggravated assault. The guy committied the 3 last one, with robbery, attempt to kill.

Also note that our law (and I suspect it's the same with Australia since our roots are found in the common law) makes a difference between theft and robbery. The last one includes the use of a weapon.

Sorry but you're wrong on this one. She was entiltled to shoot the bastard just like any cop here could have done the same.
