The duty to retreat is a fiction invented by lawyers so they could muddy obvious self-defense cases in the favor of thugs.
Don’t forget the money aspect.
One of the main things that SYG laws do is remove the obligation on the part of the defender,
and then the trial lawyers can’t get a piece of his wealth for defending himself or the family.
I guess Trayvon Martin - if he felt threatened by Zimmerman - should have retreated to his home. He had plenty of time to do that. He had only 100 yards to go - I’m 62 and I can go that far in 20-25 seconds.
Duty to retreat? i.e. act French.
Eric Holder has a duty to kiss my lily-white keester.
You white folk have a duty to lay down and take you whoop ass.
Oh. It’s white people. Hey Holder, how about calling us Americans. That’s a racist statement!!
That’s all this “review of SYG laws” is about, conceding the streets to thugs. According to Holder and crewe, if someone menaces us, we’re supposed to run away. That’s all this is - give the streets (and the malls, and the stores, and everywhere else but homes), over to thugs. Let lawlessness reign so we don’t have to here about drug-using thieves like St. Skittles getting killed if the assault someone.
Get the hell off my yard!
Yep. They have a duty to retreat from your yard. Let's not let the other side control the term.
If you haven’t already make sure you find some conservatives for friends so you don’t feel unduly isolated while among the plethora of LIB/DIMs in many places. Best.
That almost reads like you’ve retreated.
Have I mentioned: 'f*** you'?
So, let me get this straight: if some hoodlums show up at my back door and want to rob me, I am supposed to retreat out the front door and let them? I guess the next step will be that I have to help them carry my stuff out???
Oh my gosh! So wise. And that is timely for me. :) Thanks. It is excellent to have a believer to help me get my head back on straight - after three days of progressive insanity in NC. Thanks.
my thoughts exactly. they all fail to mention trayvon sucker punching him jumping and straddling him punding him MMA style threatening to kill him while showing no intentions of stopping.
- How many of the guns used in killings are legally owned? I don't know the answer, but I suspect very few, which means banning guns would have minimal effect (the criminals don't abide by the laws now).
- How many of the gun killings are in conjunction with the commission of another crime? Again, I don't know the answer, but I suspect the large majority, which supports the theory that banning guns would have minimal effect (the criminals don't abide by the laws now).
So, the conclusion appears to be that the intent is to ban law-abiding citizens (aka conservatives) from having guns - I think we knew that all along.
Joe McCarthy was right about 95% of the time.
The Communists mounted a propaganda campaign against him that continues to this day.
Holder doesn’t even belong in the same room with McCarthy.
You don’t say..... :-)
Frankly, only the agressor has the duty to retreat. The potential victim has a duty to defend.
