The "rational questions" were posed to diminish the heinousness of the act of running down a 14 y/o and murdering him. He was murdered! His life was taken in a vicious way w/o just cause! It's that simple. The questions were posed as they were to imply just cause existed and the murder was understandable.
Re: That young adult's actions had consequences.
" Feel free to elaborate, but this also seems straight forward and rational for all but Leftists and other irrational people."
What is rational is to note and realize that a murder was committed here. That there was no just cause for the action, not in the slightest. The responsibility for the murder belongs entirely to the murderer, not the victim. The consequences of throwing an egg at a car do not include being murdered. Do you understand that?
"So we’re not sorry that a (most likely) gang banger is dead."
It doesn't look like it understand it at all, because all you've done is attempt to demean the murdered 14 y/o victim. I note your distinct failure to comprehend the viciousness of the adult's behavior in chasing the kid down and killing him. It was completely unjustified!
You forgot to ping Jim35
You seem to be missing the part where the kid brought about his own demise with his actions. If he hadn't been committing a CRIME, his intended VICTIM wouldn't have chased him down and ended his worthless life. Sorry if you don't like that, but face up to the fact that the kid started this crap.
Would we decry the actions of a sleeping bear if this kid had egged the bear, woken it up, and then been eaten? Then why so here? Do something criminal, pay the consequences, serve as a lesson to others to not be a criminal...
In all of your wild hysteria, you forgot to see that both Plains Drifter and I were commenting only on the actions of the kid.
It is you who are foaming at the mouth and crediting us with a lot of stuff you thought we said but didin't. Gather yourself together a bit before letting that kneejerk response drive you wild.
We also commented on our lack of sorrow.
Some of that comes with experience and wisdom about the realities of this world.
There are folks here who have a lot more experience with this than I do (and I suspect you too) who feel no sorrow either. Scroll up and read about the Freeper whose wife is dead as a result of hooligans like this.
Jeeze, what's happened here at FR?
"The consequences of throwing an egg at a car do not include being murdered. Do you understand that?"
If I choose to throw eggs ar cars how would I positively exclude being murdered as a possible consequence?
How would I positively exclude the driver veering off the road and getting injured as a possible consequence?
Etc.
I don't understand how I could do choose the consequences of my free will actions, if you know how to do that please tell me.
Seems to me the only way for this kid to have had control over unknown consequences was to choose to not be with people throwing eggs at cars.
If the kid had made the choice to stay home and help his mom make supper he would be alive right now wouldn't he?
What's wrong with the concept of him making a better choice than the one he did?
