Well that's strange because one is a convicted murderer.

I find this kind of “appeal to the system when it agrees with me” strange

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

What do you mean, by any system one is a murderer one is a burglar what's not to agree with?

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

And the others probably would have been convicted of burglary if they lived, what’s your point?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Absolutely. If you think unarmed burglary and premeditated murder are the same morally and legally I cannot agree.

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Never said that. You are taking everything I say and twisting it.

The man is a murderer, the intruders are burglars, everyone sucks here. That is the only point I have ever made in this thread.

I’m not saying one is worse than the other, rather that both fucked around and found out.

Except it isn't, you keep saying he had the right for the first few shots the jury found he did not.

I hope none of this comes off as a defense of that asshole, but facts matter, and those teens did commit a crime. I don’t think they deserved to be executed for it, but he was within his rights to defend himself when they broke in to his home. He was not within his rights to execute them after the threat was over.
