The main difference between a conservativa and a liberal is which one has been mugged.

.

If by "mugged" you mean robbed than only 0.823411 per 1,000 people in Canada are robbed per year. At that rate Harper will never get a majority.

Shooting someone in the back is cowardly, period. It's not relevant to anything else.

Funny, for someone so opposed to violence and etc. you think that The Code of The Old West should apply here and that a potentially armed criminal should have an opportunity to 'draw' before shooting him?

Got news for you, PLENTY of violent criminals get shot in the back when fleeing the police. Should the police also implement The Code of The Old West here and not shoot until a weapon is actually aimed at them?

More breaking news: I personally *poofed* a number of people in the back. Allowing them to escape was not an option. No doubt there's no end of Canadian shooters doing the same thing in Afghanistan.

A target is a target and sometimes all that matters is bringing him/her down.

Again, had these two pillars of the community not been breaking into and looting someone's home we would not be having this discussion.

Joe Horn and people like him make the world a more dangerous place to be a criminal and people like you try to make it a safer place to be a criminal. It's too bad you don't express more indignation at the criminals for their behavior than you do at Mr. Horn for stopping them.

Vigilantism is not the right way to deal with Felons. Or at least just shoot them in the legs.

Or how about this better idea: don't commit crimes.

Geez, why is it so tough for some people to grasp cause and effect?

Don't break into someones home in Texas and you won't get shot by their excitable neighbor. The better idea is to move to the UK where you can break into someone's home while they are there and then steal what you like. And if the homeowner interferes then it is the homeowner who will get the worst punishment and you, the burglar, will be entitled to 'compensation' from the nasty homeowner.

Maroons.

I don't for one minute say that U.K. is a perfect place for the victims of crime, as I have been one, but if we start taking things into our own hands, what separates us from the criminals?

The moral prohibition against shooting people in the back goes back further than just the old west.

During the American Revolution, after the Battle of Long Island, a British soldier spotted an American officer riding away on horseback. Lining up his shot, he held his fire as he would have shot him in the back. The lucky officer was Gen. Washington.

Pvt. Hoobler shot a German officer on horseback as he was riding away from him in Bastogne. He got a luger off the officer, and later accidentally shot himself in the leg with it, hit the artery, and died.

Yeah, well, he too should have thought about that, right?

And probably he did, knowing he was in Texas.

There is no moral equivalency between a man defending his family and a man attacking someone else's family for personal pleasure or gain.

And, other than a badge, what is the magical difference between a subject defending themselves from a criminal and a constable defending themselves from a criminal?

Ask yourself why it is that subjects are not allowed to defend themselves from an attack while constables, MPs, and Ministers reserve to themselves the privilege to employ lethal force against anyone attacking them, breaking into THEIR homes, or etc. ?

What makes them so special?

And just as it is on topic:

IF it is the same place I'm thinking of the building connected to it is the Jail I used to work at. I love walking through the Capital building every now and then just looking at it and all the interestig features along with the portriats of all the Texas Governors.

Ex-Expat Ex-Expat:

But in most cases, and certainly not Mr. Horn's case, I don't think the "maimy" option is there as often as you'd like to think it is.

I don't think it ever is or should be right, at least not with firearms as the option. You don't seem to understand what I'm saying. I said that maiming is never the right choice. A situation calls for deadly or non-deadly. If it calls for using a gun, go all out with it. Kill the bastard then and there.
