[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Never bring a fist to a knife fight. [QUOTE][b]Accompanied by several students, Dylan Nuno, a junior, followed Saavedra, a freshman, off the bus. He then punched him in the back of the head, according to court documents and testimony. Saavedra attempted to get away once, witnesses said. He then stabbed Dylan Nuno 12 times in the chest and abdomen. Two of the blows caused fatal wounds, including one that nicked his heart. In her decision, signed Dec. 30, 2011, the judge said Saavedra had “no duty to retreat” and was “legally entitled to meet force with force, even deadly force.” [/QUOTE][/b] Yep, get punched in the head, stab the guy twelve times- that's "meeting force with force" right? That's "standing your ground" allright- because, hey, that guy might have gotten back up with only eleven stab wounds, right? I posted on this thread already about this NRA-written Stand Your Ground law that allows anyone to kill anyone else by claiming they felt threatened- and since the law is so vaguely worded, prosecutors dont bother taking a case to trial. The NRA is drafting the same leglislation in other states with their success in Florida as their template. Might be time to discard my lofty ideals and buy a gun, a concealed permit and maybe some armor. Also of amusment, the all-Republican state leglislature that passed this law also passed another NRA written law allowing handguns in any public building (exceping hospitals, courthouses and jails). So now capitol police cant even ask about someone's gun-shaped bulge and the lawmakers have, I shit you not, panic buttons in their offices for when that inevitible disgruntled voter decides to make like the old west. That same law allows for guns in state parks, although park rangers do not carry firearms. Last week we had our first (shooting) homicide in a state park in twenty years. Surely a cooincidence. The NRA also got a law passed prohibiting doctors from asking if handguns are present in a person's home- the idea being that those liberal doctors and psychiatrists cant infringe on Second Amendment feedoms by talking about the dangers handguns pose where children or the mentally ill reside. Talking about such things would result in the forefiture of the physician's liscence. really. For a doctr suggesting gun locks on firearms where children are present- after all, we only have a dozen or so kids accidently kill themselves fooling with guns each year. By a suprise victory for the ACLU, A state judge has sided with Doctor's First Amendment freedoms over the gun lobby....but Republicans swear to take it (at taxpayr expense) all the way to the Supreme Court. My home is a surreal and violent place- and almost impossible to explain wihout various internet links to make it semi-believable. But hey, good weather...that's gotta count for [i]something[/i], right? [/QB][/QUOTE]
