Homeowner Shoots Four Armed Men Who Break Into His House, Killing Two

And the other two will be charged for felony murder. They committed a felony which resulted, indirectly, in the deaths of two people. It doesn't matter that those two people were their accomplices. That's the neat thing about the felony murder charge.

A little good news in a month that's had very little of it.

Meanwhile, heavily-recruited Think Tank candidate S.E. Cupp, noted libertarian and gunt-haver, is demanding more laws to take citizens' guns away.

Once again: "Libertarian" just means a sneering liberal who wants to take drugs.

In other words, just a sneering liberal.

And of course: 90% of the "conservative" media, and 90% of "conservative" institutions like Heritage, is staffed by libertarians.

This is why we lose. We give all our plum persuasion/policy-pushing positions to sneering liberals. And somehow we expect this will work out well for us.

16 I get really annoyed at some of the dumb that conflates libertarian with anarchist with crazy-pants fascist but I can see where it comes from sometimes. If someone calling for gun control is also calling themselves libertarian it's easy to see how people get confused.

In what I do for work, all I'm concerned about are the facts, something that I can actually put on paper, take to Command/Legal and say, here, this shit actually happened and here's what I have that shows that it actually happened. Sorry to go OT right after you posted this.

Posted by: stourma at December 15, 2020 12:11 PM (bbYBJ)

18 Post WWII the libertarians anchored the right, while the progressives anchored the left. Conservatives were the "center" and split between blue-collar conservatives, who generally sided with the left over public schools, the social safety net, etc., and white-collar conservatives, who sided with the right over free-trade and fewer regulations.

After the fall of the USSR, and the end of communism as an existential threat to the West, both sides abandoned conservatives. Both despised them, and the libertarians were more than willing to make common cause with the left over drugs, promiscuity, and open borders.

The problem, of course, is that the right's arguments were built from a libertarian basis, not a conservative one. As a result, we've basically allowed ourselves to be painted into a logical corner.

I was attracted to libertarianism when the party of my father, the Republicans, seemed to me to have abandoned the principles of limited government and individual liberty.

I even voted for the LP candidate for President once (a symbolic gesture, as the outcome in my state was same as always).

Then I went to an election night gathering with LParty folk, as I had gone to GOP election parties with Dad. And I met Libertarian Party people.

That cured me.

And of course, their only real ideology is More Money and Power to the corporations they control.

I even voted for the LP candidate for President once (a symbolic gesture, as the outcome in my state was same as always).

In a world where we cannot help the mentally ill and their loved ones by providing care for them in a secure, separate environment, I don't see what the mom could have done.

She tried hard to basically treat her son herself. Maybe it would have been better to not have firearms at all in the home, but I think he was violent and would have found them one way or another.

-----------------------------

The father walked out on that family, abandoned the mother and the crazy son, and started a new family.

The older brother had grown up and left home, was living in NYC as I recall.

The mother was left to care for a severely mentally ill young man, at home, by herself. She loved him and tried to help him but the hobby he was interested in, and that she took up - firearms - ended up killing her and the others.

They were well off, the worthless father who abandoned them was supporting them financially, and that allowed her to keep the son's craziness hidden until it was too late.

Mentally ill young men in the ghetto come to the attention of the authorities far younger and get involved in the criminal justice system, for what that's worth.

Not all States have it, or use it aggressively.

The idea behind Felony Murder is that if you are committing a felony, and someone dies for any reason due to the chain of events you kicked off with your felony, then you are guilty of felony murder. Moral of the story - Don't Commit Felonies.

If Cupp-size wants to argue the ability to kill gun owners and steal their guns is something we can legislate away, I don't know what to say. It's pants on head retarded.

Any moron can put together a slam-fire shotgun after a single, inexpensive trip to the hardware store. A $300 3d printer can make hundreds of lowers, the regulated "gun", and put together the rest with unregulated parts kits. If these somehow become illegal, the cartels will happily smuggle guns to people who want them.

Posted by: rickb223 at December 15, 2020 12:18 PM (S3Inb)

Used to be the only ones saying Open Borders (Democrats taking that on is a joke, but they're all convinced that they've always been open borders because they have the memory of two year old.) BUT those Open Borders were part of a society where there was NO welfare or government assistance and no minimum wage and everyone had free association for work and was responsible for themselves and for those they freely chose to support.

Which might work as a concept if the rest of it were in any way possible. There'd no longer be an underclass that was unable to go to the police for assistance or unable to complain of mistreatment and anyone who wanted to leave again could do so.

Most libertarians I know now, even if they used to be open borders, accept and insist that it's just not practical because we DO have the extensive welfare state and we have the additional stupidity of trying to sign non-citizens up to vote or count them for representation. So now they're "build the wall" libertarians. Just on practical terms.

When he had a couple of questions I didn't know the answer to, as they were in areas I was not sure about, I told him, "I don't know, but I will find out." And I have, and have emailed him the answers.

The only problem is that his research areas (which thankfully I will have little to do with) are in social justice, income inequality, racial inequality, and redistribution of wealth. Exactly the kind of stuff I *don't* want even to hear about. No anti-Trump remarks from him, thank God.

199 And the other two will be charged for felony murder. They committed a felony which resulted, indirectly, in the deaths of two people. It doesn't matter that those two people were their accomplices. That's the neat thing about the felony murder charge.

It is the neat thing about the felony murder doctrine. Which is, of course, why California got rid of it.

IMO, the felony murder doctrine - and a generously applied death penalty - are key to restraining criminality.

Two a-holes commit a crime in which someone dies, they're both liable for murder (first degree, I believe). Investigators can easily play them off against each other: whoever caves first, gets prison. The other, gets the needle. Pretty good incentive to spill your guts.

218 Guns are unnecessary! Two beautiful lives have been wasted. Sad.

Joe Biden or Ruth Bader Ginsburg (pbuh) would have beaten the 4 into submission using only their bare hands, then called the 911 Peaceful Assistance Line to have them taken to a hospital for free emergency care (and not charged with a crime).

Barack Obama would have patiently reasoned with them and convinced them to peacefully leave and go to a community shelter for food, a bed for the night, and and a $1200 cash handout in the morning.

Can't you troglodyte white supremacist gun nuts see the error of your ways?

There was a sheriff in AZ, forget his name, that allowed Loughner to get a gun, even though there was ample reason to deny him, because Loughner was known to be mentally ill. This same sheriff then went on to kill a homeowner, or, at least his department did, over a drug bust, I believe it was.

Right.

It was stunning, and to me the most evident sign of panic.

Because like the rest of the otherwise-invisible non-agenda of the non-campaign with no visible candidate, "gun control" polls waaaay down not just in those places, but everywhere outside a few clueless s***holes.

It was part of the formula to amass a record number of votes while unseating an incumbent above 50% approval who increased his share everywhere.

We lose because we don't organize and act.

We sit around reading blogs. Are we organizing, joining the school board, seeking out and supporting those of use who have the time/energy to act, writing letters to pols, learning how your local GOPe organization actually works, writing letters to pols about election security, demanding the the GOPe actually act on election security (ie, monitors should be as important as gotv efforts), etc.

295 Libertarianism is based on the same romantic view of human behavior as is Leftist ideals such as Rousseau and through Marx as the fruit of the Enlightenment. JS Mill, Locke, etc. all believed that humans were basically good and were/are warped by society. Both ignore history or distort it to fit their frame instead of simply recognizing that some will choose to do evil if given a choice and some of them will band together to cause evil things to happen on a massive scale--wars, pogroms, genocide, etc.

The underlying theme for both is Do as Thou Wilt. Libertarians naively believe that others will do as thou wilt for good when left to their own devices.

Leftists believe that only the guardians of the proletariat are truly able to see the good and this allows a dictatorship of the elites until literally a "new" population is created which is a sort of debased Platonic ideal. Thus, we see the continuing hypocrisy where the elites ignore the Covid restrictions that they put on the plebes because only they are the knowing and good in society. They are free to do as they will but the non-virtuous cannot. The same justification has been used for flagrant violations of morals by priests of different religions, the nobility in others, and by various despots and tyrants throughout the ages.

To pedants, both of these are examples of rhetoric, not dialectic. There is considerable variation in Socialist/Marxist thought as well as libertarianism. Both though focus on the individual being freed from the chains of current society and then vary as to the prescription of what to do next. Leftists are big on reeducation and elimination, libertarians not so much.

SE Cupp is simply a fake plant and if you notice, many of the "conservative" thought leaders behave like leftists because they are leftists in their hearts and minds. So disqualify, deplatform, etc. are justified as what Saint Buckley did.

That is the fault of the corporate and wealthy donors of the "conservative" sponsors of GoPe and "conservative" institutions which inevitably parrot whatever current idiocy is being promoted and shadow box in repeatedly saying they will 'ne'er consent' and soon afterwards consent.

That kid was sick for year, and he was pushed off by all of the people and institutions that should have been helping him (schools, inpatient psychiatric care, etc.).

Years and years she tried to get him help, tried to get herself help/backup for dealing with her son-turned-monster.

His mom tried that repeatedly. Every time she got him set up somewhere - a special school, a psych institution, home school with special counseling, she was told "this isn't the right place for him, what he really needs is [whatever she tried right before that place]." She was bumped back and forth, no one wanted to take the kid, all those places that are supposed to help wanted him as far away as possible (probably so they wouldn't be blamed when he snapped).

It's going to anyway. The only difference this time is your (and our) desire to really see it happen. Before, I didn't truly want it to burn. I wanted my America. I wanted her saved. And the people in it to want to save it for all the right reasons. Now, my America doesn't exist. We have no rights. It's not America. I don't fool myself into thinking it will change at this point, except to get worse. If it burns, I could literally care less because I'm no longer invested in preserving this bastardized, corrupt, stolen version of what this country's supposed to be.

358 The idiotic idea that hollow points are inhumane comes from a ridiculous international convention on warfare (the Hague) that tried to codify the insanity that is war.

In reality, hollowpoints are less likely to ricochet with harmful effects, as others have said upstream, more likely to stop within the person rather than harming those beyond through excessive penetration, and ironically more likely to stop an attack which might just save the perpetrator's life.

In police shootings, when limited to fmj, it took multiple shots to put someone down and often bystanders were injured or killed, including cops, when bullets hit hard surfaces at shallow angles and ricocheted or overpenetrated the perpetrator to affect those beyond. The more wounds, the more likely someone is to bleed out and die but not necessarily in enough time that the person could give a mortal wound to the good guys. So mag dumps became common to stop the threat--see Diallou case for example in NYC.

In the military's case, it has access to more potent weapons such as mortars, artillery, rockets, and so on for mass mayhem. For the most part, the military treat small arms as basically to preserve the life of the soldier and protect equipment rather than offensive in nature because they have bigger and better tools to do harm to the enemy now. So Hague restrictions are not a big deal (and btw may not apply when fighting unlawful combatants under the Geneva convention as those are treated as criminals rather than soldiers).

Just my opinion.

Nothing unusual about this application of felony murder. Cases like this are basically why the felony murder law exists, where it does exist.

361 "Libertarianism is based on the same romantic view of human behavior as is Leftist ideals such as Rousseau and through Marx as the fruit of the Enlightenment. JS Mill, Locke, etc. all believed that humans were basically good and were/are warped by society. Both ignore history or distort it to fit their frame instead of simply recognizing that some will choose to do evil if given a choice and some of them will band together to cause evil things to happen on a massive scale--wars, pogroms, genocide, etc."

This is very weird because I was always impressed by the complete opposite, that libertarianism works with human nature instead of insisting that it doesn't exist, that people are perfectible somehow or will behave in any way other than self-interest. That we ARE selfish.

Now, sure, lots of people take that "selfish" part and run with it all sorts of odd places but really the whole point of something like Atlas Shrugged was that people behaving with self-interest made good choices, built things, and created wealth, while altruism was the ultimate lie.

So it's the opposite of this. Human nature is what it is. The market, for example, works with human nature. The farmer doesn't feed people because he's a loving person. The farmer feeds people because he gets paid for it, because the food grown can be traded for nice things that make him and his family comfortable and the more food he produces the more he can enrich himself.

The goal is to encourage people to look to long term self-interest instead of instant gratification but it's still all about what makes your own life better.

364 Here's what gets frustrating. Once, a bunch of us were together, having a few drinks. One of the ex's friends, a nurse, just had to butt in when the topic of guns was brought up. She thought they should all be melted down and made into a statue of something. I then refreshed her memory on the subject of really creepy mass murderer Richard Speck, and his rapin' and killin' spree with eight soon to be nurses, and maybe, just maybe, if one of those girls had a gun and knew how to use it Speck would have been on the slab. Her response "that girl with a gun would probably shoot an innocent person". Yep, that's what you have to deal with.

And in fairness, there's not a law that could be written that would change the tally.

If we're going to talk about laws based on gun deaths let's at least talk about the gun deaths that could be changed by laws.

Of which there are really very few, and even of those you have to ask if the death would be prevented or simply the cause of death switched to something else.

And consider that once the Dems bounce President ~~Hindenburg~~ Biden Kamala "Roundheels" Harris will be President.

Again, read "Ghettoside." There's a lot of shithead on shithead violence, but there's also a lot of shithead on innocent bystander violence, for two reasons: 1) the shitheads can barely hit the ground in three tries, and 2) if they're trying to get street cred with their fellow shitheads, it's a lot safer to walk up behind some poor unsuspecting slob and blow him away. Doing that to another shithead is dangerous, because they live that life, and are typically on the lookout.

383 330 Marcus, and Jay Guevara,

Yes. As rhetoric in Kant's time, it was a useful counterpoint to 'original sin' doctrine prevalent at the time. Many of the people pushing this view had a history of seeing religion being abused as justification for all sorts of controls on thought and speech.

The risk to original sin that is that someone with no hope of redemption (a lot of variants of original sin had a elect and those that were damned through no fault of their own or allowed people to 'purchase' forgiveness for sins.) would lead to destructive lives. The common justification is that after the first murder, the rest are 'free'. If someone believes themselves to be damned regardless of their actions, then they will behave accordingly as a self fulfilling prophecy.

As dialectic, the idea that people are basically good has made for all sorts of mischief-such as the dictatorship of the proletariat, wokeness, justification for anarchy, etc.

I find it amusing that people are shocked when you make drugs legal but taxed, people still buy illegal weed (see Colorado and California) for example and the massive windfall of taxes collected never materializes. Or that overdoses through cannabis being in baked goods occur.

A bit of history regarding drugs, alcohol, etc. would disabuse them of the notion quickly.

There is a certain type of person that feels overwhelmed and denies self agency to cope. Thus, whatever happens to them is external and not their fault in any way. Their magic view of the world is that the firearm causes people to be bad rather than bad people use firearms as tools to hurt and kill people.

In a similar way, I see people despairing here regarding the election rather than figuring out ways to cope and prepare. Me, I hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
