Texas Law Makes Sense?!?!?!?

Still not sure what you mean by forum warrior. Some vague attempt to insult or dismiss me because you don't have a decent retort?

I think I was aiming at saying "white knighting" my bad, I'll take that one on the chin :)

...Hence my above post. You asked a question, "why [...] should the law then stand up for them?" etc. I answered it.

By using an absurd example which made no sense as I had said earlier degrees of offence should be taken into account.

Your statement however, 'people who step outside the law shouldn't be protected by the law' is retarded.

Why?

Why should someone who purposefully break a law then be protected by it? I accept the example I am about to use is slightly left field but, if there was a sign saying do not touch danger of death and there was adequate measures in place to stop people mistakenly put them at harm. Should someone be liable for someone going out their way to cause harm to themselves? I draw the comparisson with someone acting outside the law and clearly disregarding this why should it then protect them?

It's an opinion of mine but no, they don't deserve justice.

At one point (I always struggle to remember when and dates) an outlaw law was introducd whereby someone acting outside the law is not protected by the law.

Mid course there should be degrees within this, but if someone acts outside the law/evilly why in any sane world should the law then stand up for them?

Bloody hell, someone actually being honest enough to speak in favour of outlawry.

While I disapprove of your desire to murder people without any risk to yourself, I approve of your honesty in saying so.

Do you also support blood feuds?

Do you want any law at all? There doesn't seem to be any point, since you want it replaced with vengeance killings instead. No, wait, you go further than that. You want anyone free to kill, not just anyone who can claim vengeance. Torture and rape as well, of course.

You'd give people quite free rein to rape, torture and murder for their own pleasure, completely legally. Would you have the government pay them for it? That was part of the outlawry you refer to, so it's a reasonable question.

Of course, modern technology adds some new questions. Say, for example, someone hunts down an outlaw to rape, torture and murder them, videos it all and sells the video for like-minded people to buy for their own pleasure. Obviously, you'd allow that. How could you not? They're not doing anything illegal under your preferred system. But would you count the profit they made from selling the video as taxable income or part of a tax-free reward?



Maybe you just haven't thought your position through.

Yup, however in this country if someone has broken into your house you're allowed to use reasonable force, so basically unless he's swinging for you don't touch him. Which is how it should be.

Reasonable force is much stronger than that in UK law. If someone has broken into your house they are an immediate threat and you can use force as required to stop them being so. Which includes taking them by surprise and hitting them until they're unconscious or clearly too dazed to do anything much. In extreme circumstances, it even includes shooting them dead.

I think UK law is basically right about the use of force, although I'm concerning about how deranged people are forcing us towards the society they want, in which vengeance killings and extra-legal vigilante lynchings are seen as being a good thing. We're too close to that already (e.g. the response to the case of Munir Hussain).

With each post I'm thinking more niavite as opposed to bleeding heart liberal. Life will teach you, hopefully not the hard way it did this bloke.

Have you ever been in such a situation and acted as such? If not, don't tell others they are soft or naive because they don't share your impotent revenge fantasies.
 
I just don't know how you could be sexually aroused by a 5 year old girl :/ Or why you wouldn't do your best to suppress it if you were. Or get help, see a doctor, anything but act on that desire.
 
I don't really feel that you can be held fully accountable for your actions in a situation like that.

However there's a limit... there's a spur of the moment reaction to seeing something like that happening, and then there's going to town on someone well past the point of them presenting any threat.

Seems like the guy in the story in the OP was the first and snapped out of it, but too late (or kind of not too late but I don't believe in a death sentence of any sort).

This. There are times when it should be ok to take the law into your own hands.

In my opinion, if you are caught and prosecuted for child molestation, you should be taken to a room, and the parents allowed to decide on the punishment.
