    Most don't like getting robbed.

    Hurt or kill my mother or anyone else in my family including my dogs and I’ll max out my credit, cross oceans and live in the jungle to catch up to you and bleed you out slowly while I read Immanuel Kant aloud.

    Taking my watch by armed robbery while my child is in the car saves your life.
    Robbing me in front of my child guarantees me putting 2 in your head. Vernon did what he had to do. There was no way he could of know there was more than 1 fool involved

    He was a fighter. He had to chase them.

    "No wide-ranging "stand your ground" law, the likes of which boosted George Zimmerman's chances of acquittal in his shooting of Trayvon Martin in Florida, exists in Arkansas."


    Zimmerman's case wasn't a "stand your ground" case.

    I don't know the details of Jermain's incident but there are obviously very strict laws attached to using a firearm to defend yourself. So who knows.

    I don't know the details of Jermain's incident but there are obviously very strict laws attached to using a firearm to defend yourself. So who knows.
    What I read in the case of Zimmerman, was that the basis of the Law which lead to his aquital was the "Stand your Ground" Law or "No duty to retreat", which I would think makes the article heading technically correct. Where as in Taylor case, the his state has a "Duty to Retreat" Law. Yes, the argument is "Self Defense" but the basis of the Law "Stand Your Ground" is to show what was the intent. Everything is about semantics but that is precisely what Lawyers argue. Taylor appearently made a recorded threat and afterward shot his cousin multiple times and also missed several times. The part about terroristic treat, I would think should surely be thrown out, but the intent to cause injury seems clear. So, my guess is there should be more emphasis on what the Jury will decide about his state of mind when he took the shots. Appearently the cousin is only in serious condition so I would think he would testify. I think it looks really bad for Taylor, even if he is seen as exercising self defense.

    Fighters should actually know better and just leave it.

    Martial artists were asked if they were robbed at gunpoint would you fight or give the money all said just give the money.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    You think all fighters are the same ? all are made up of the same personality ? all behave the same ?
    Glad you work for the probation service no wonder the country is fucked.

    So now it's masters fault the country is fucked? I for one am grateful for his contribution in what must be a pretty thankless job. It's krap working in the cjs, long hours, low pay and depressing case after case. I am glad not to be a caseworker anymore but have full respect for those still doing it . Someone has to do these jobs and often their hands are tied in understaffed offices with superiors who don't give a toss.

    You are a head case. The country is fucked? With people like you in it. Yes it is.
