NEW YORK-It was bound to happen sooner or later, and in what newspapers in Kentucky are calling a first, one American has killed another in a dispute over the Iraq war.

It happened at Floyd County flea market on Thursday, when two friends, who were firearms vendors there, drew guns after quarreling about the war. Douglas Moore, 65, of Martin, who supports the war, shot and killed Harold Wayne Smith, 56, of Manchester, who opposed it, according to investigators.

Moore was released without being charged after he convinced police he had acted in self-defense.

Sounds like the title of this should be: "Patriot defends himself against anti-war zealot"

The story shows one of the reasons that "shooting to wound" is almost always a bad idea. If you are justified in "shooting to wound" you are justified in killing.

It is called "deadly force" for a reason.

Here in Minnesota the lefties are getting quite violent, especially in the Twin Cities, moreso in Minneapolis.

See www.whenangrydemocratsattack.com

After some exchanges that I have gotten in (when the other person finds out that I do not bow down to leftist orthodoxy), the only thing that currently keeps me from driving in Minnesota with a Texas drivers license and Texas tags is the fact that the current governor is a Republican (although I have my disagreements with Pawlenty, the DFL on the other hand are all Marxist moonbats).

Sounds to me like the right prevails again.

My sentiments, exactly! Eventually, those who support the President, this country and the war are going to strike back. Unfortunately, this time, it was lethal!

Killing someone is just going way overboard.

Let me get this straight; a lib comes at you, pulling a pistol as he does, and you are saying you would............................?

Well, first I'd say, "You're a liberal, what are you doing with a gun?"

While he was trying to figure it out, then I'd shoot him.

Fire arms vendors at a flea market, IN NEW YORK??? That's the part that is hard to believe. Can't happen where I live.

Newspapers in Kentucky are wrong. Over a year ago America's Most Wanted broadcast a case of a homicide due to an argument over the war. The anti-war killer is still on the run, the Bush defender dead.

I think the "newspapers in Kentucky" consider this the first case of its kind mainly because the anti-war party ended up dead.

Oh! One other case. Although not strictly similar, an anarchist killed a cop on the west coast around two years ago to protest the war. The MSM never mentions the case.

"Moore was released without being charged after he convinced police he had acted in self-defense."

Is there any bias in this sentence? Just wondering...

Sounds like justified response to an imminent threat.

Another leftie comes "unglued" and shoots a gun that his fellow lefties don't want us to have.

"Another witness, Chuck Newsome, said yesterday the Sept. 11 attacks also were included in the argument, which quickly escalated into an altercation and then to a kind of showdown in front of the market's snack stand.

After a scuffle, Newsome said he saw Smith stand beside the snack shed, pull a small pistol out of his pocket, cock the hammer and say, "I'm going to blow your ... brains out."

Witnesses said Moore pulled a .38-caliber pistol from his pocket. "Doug was just quicker," Harold Hannah of Salyersville said."
