The night I would have killed (Do not read while eating)

She got that line about the love staying with us from the movie Ghost,,remember Whoppi Goldberg told Demi Moore that?? or did Patrick Swayze? Her bimbo credentials are just impeccable!!!

Where in the Bible does it say that you can lose your soul by taking out the garbage?

It doesn't say that anywhere in my bible. But we must remember that these libs' bible is the NY Times! :-)

[CCWoody]

Her response, to the best of my recollection, was this: "Certainly it would be horrible if they had done what they wanted to do, but if you had shot them it could have cost you your soul."

Her words stayed with me, niggled me, pissed me off.

What was I supposed to do? Invite the attackers in so they didn't have to risk cutting themselves on glass, allow them to assault me, then offer them cigarettes?

"Hi, my name is Pam, and I'll be your rape victim tonight."

In the immortal words of Clayton Williams; "Just relax and enjoy it."

The right to defend oneself against violent criminals is etched into the American psyche. In Colorado, the "Make My Day" law allows citizens to shoot with impunity anyone who breaks into their homes if they have a reasonable belief that the intruder is going to commit a crime in their home or harm them in any way.

Excuse my scottish, but dumb arse that I must be, isn't being in your without permission home a crime. Though I could find the exact cite from Texas, I believe that being in your house is justification enough.

hogwash....designed to get some innocent wife or child killed

She wouldn't have lost her soul. God has granted the right of self-protection......not the state, not this woman's personal philosophy, not anything or anyone else.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Strangely, I don't have a problem with her passive stupidity. If she wants to depend on 911, its OK with me. My problem is if this sort of confessional is used as ammo to restrict MYy right to drill an assailant before the police can show up.

Concealed weapons stop crimes. Last week in Minnesota, an off duty plain clothed police officer was eating in a Subway. Two thugs entered and proceeded to pull guns with intent on robbing the place. The police officer pulled his
gun, shot one, killing him, and the other fled, later apprehended. If every 10 or 20 people in society was properly trained and certified to use and carry a concealed weapon, crime would drop considerably, IMHO.

Didn't by calling the cops, she put her life and happiness above her attackers?

What a stupid @ss (not you GOP, the author of this tripe).

357 revolver bump.

[Publius6961]

Breathtaking stupidity.

Not really.

The triumph of brainwashing and symbolism over reality.

The innate instinct to protect the helpless who depend on us to survive would inatantly come to the surface were those old repressed circumstances recreated suddenly.

Of that I have no doubt whatsoever.

[Wolfstar]

If this story is true — and I never lose sight of the fact that the media make more stuff up than most people realize — then that woman's FIRST OBLIGATION was to her infant son. If the situation had unfolded in a way where she had to make a choice between killing the thugs or allowing her child to be harmed, and she chose inaction rather than to save her baby, no God worthy of the name would approve of her monumental cowardice and selfishness. At least no God I could believe in.

Of course, taking her at her word, the key point is the woman did not have to make the choice since the cops arrived so quickly. So her whole piece is nothing more than an imaginative rationale for her to support gun control.

[null and void]

Just a thought...

You can not murder anyone in self defense.

[Lion Den Dan]

Had you killed them, you would not have lost your soul. The only thing you get from fenc sitting is a sore crotch.

Had you killed them, you would not have lost your soul, I know.

I have a t-shirt she could wear to advertise her philosophy...

(If you can't read the type, the shirt says "I am not armed - please don't hurt me")

stupid loser!

[MissAmericanPie]

I'm a blast em first, feel bad about it later, kinda gal. If years from the event, I should begin to feel bad about it all, I'll go shopping.

[freethinkingman]

Oh my what a nit-wit. I think she is lucky that the cods got there in the nick-o-time.

How many women are so lucky? I would like to see the statistic of the percentage of crimes in progress are actually stopped by the pooolice?

Also this line says it all I don't want to tell women not to defend themselves because I believe in such and such

What the freck ever, I mean like oh my gahhud!!

I don't think this women will ever know what she believes in. And like so many indoctrinated by the prolific University pacifists, will be so easily guided like lemings to the edge of the cliff.
