I won't go so far as to say he got what he deserved but I will say he got what he ask for. If any of us put ourselves in a situation of danger with nefarious individuals, we can't expect sympathy when we get "victimized". I put the word victimized in quotes because calling yourself a victim when you are committing a crime and get burnt is a very loose usage of the word. Claiming you were attempting to help someone when caught in the act of a sex crime is classic.

I can understand why they wrote the law to exclude criminal activity from a defense in the usage of deadly force. I could be a drug dealer who has not been caught yet. I have a CHL and can legally carry to protect my drugs???? LOL... it is kind of funny to think about.
That's a lot of judgement, assumption and condemnation in so few words.
Imagine your life experience if relegated to a wheelchair.
Imagine what lonely people do every day for a few minutes away from their loneliness.... Drugs, alcohol, TV, internet....
There are all kinds of behaviors that the general population would find "strange", I bet you have one. I bet we all do.

Re: Tough Way to Learn Life Lesson

Practically speaking..... If you're being kidnapped, you'd rather be tried than carried... No?

Yeah, sure, that's what he wanted to do, preach. :nono:
What point are we trying to make? .... He deserved what he got?

Let's look at it this way.... A disabled man was attempting to make a business transaction with a person he met online. Whether you agree with the transaction or not, it was a transaction between two consenting adults. The BG (gal) kidnapped him, stole his money and possessions and threatened him with physical violence, picking up an accomplice (premeditated) along the way. Our victim in the wheelchair would have been well served having a CHL and carrying a gun.
