back, front, whateva

to my reasoning, whether they were shot in the back, side, top, is inconsequential. they were still in the commission of the crime, until the point that they had "gotten away."
after that, it's back to the morality issue, but AFAIK, just because they turn their back to you, doesn't mean they get a free "Get Out of Getting Shot" card.
does, however, mean they were cowards.... :nono:

Re: Update. Columbia weighs in on Joe Horn case

I have a friend (who shall remain nameless) that is visiting Colombia. He had quite the eye-opening perspective on the country as a whole, and how things are down there.
here's a sampling of his observations from research and first hand accounts.
I know where the not-so-great parts of the city are and I will be avoiding them as best I can. I’m going to be carrying a dummy wallet (a wallet in my back pocket with a few $1 bills, monopoly money I printed off the internet, and those fake credit cards you get in the mail) wherever I go. I’m pretty much expecting to be robbed at knife or gunpoint at some point during this trip so my plan is to throw the wallet one way and run the other way.
At least five Americans were kidnapped in 2004, and at least one in 2005.
The concept of due process, shall we say, escapes the justice system there. Respect the police as if they are gods.
They have assassins on motorcycles, I forget the Spanish term, but from COP 40,000 to COP 100,000 you can have anyone shot. This is a reality in Colombia and Venezuela as well. So basically, my life is worth about $20 in Colombia as anyone can be marked for death for the Colombian equivalent of $20 - $50. In Medellin the people take care of themselves. The guy who causes problems is normally found dead. The authorities are told that he was a bad guy, and that is the end of it. Must have been a suicide. No crime.
yeah, so the Colombians crying for justice for a couple of bums that were commiting crimes doesn't exactly sit well with me...

NOT THE "FEAR OF MAH LIFE" THING AGAIN!!!!!!

Fear, is an emotion. emotions have no place in PenalCode.
Facts, however do. they (they being those quoted) say "fur of mah lahf," because saying, "I witnessed an attempted illegal use of deadly force against myself." just wouldn't "pop" right :lol: :cool:
the justification has NO bearing on fear. it has to do with what a "reasonable person" perceived at the time.
I'm full aware that saying "Ah wuz scurred" will play well with the Police, as well as the Grand Jury, but it is not part of the justification.

call it extenuating circumstances, or some such nonsense.

sorry, buddy, trying to have a laugh on ya! not very nice, I know.

that's a no, I cannot confirm. Haven't honestly heard when he'll go to the grand jury. doesn't it usually take a month or so? maybe expedite things being down in PasaDena, though. IDK, YMMV, IIRC IANAL.

O'Reilly is always race baiting and playing the race card. He did it when a black guy was beat in Cincinati after being pursued by police a few years ago "This is cincinati, it's not too far from the South" (now we Southerners are responsible for racial problems in the North). He did it when the so-called "Jena-6" thing was brewing. Never once did he interview the sheriff or the DA, just interviewd Al Sharpton and the outside race baiters that weren't even from the area.
O'Reilly is a self righteous Yankee that is always on a racist witch hunt.

I like many of his points too, but he is an arrogant know-it-all.
and Keith Olberman is quick to point much of his, well, faults.
those two shows are funny.
