I'd be curious what the migrant was doing on his property and how the castle doctrine laws in Arizona come into play.
It's in the posted article:
He was walking.
Guy fired an ak-47 into a group of unarmed men walking towards the border on his huge plot of land and killed one of them.
Still justified to you?
Wasn't commenting that it was justified, but the ruling will come down to how the interaction happened. Did Kelly say please leave, did he open fire, did the migrants refuse and began approaching him? Was this at close range, far range? All these details are missing.
The details are in the article. The article this comment thread is attached to. You could read it and get answers to some of your questions.
Instead, you keep making up excuses for why it would be okay for him to open fire on a group of unarmed men. Men that were over 300ft away at the time, walking off his property. Men the murderer later described as "an animal" to police.
You would know all these details if you read the article, but you just won't seem to do that. I think we all know why.
Sorry your correct, I hadn't previously seen the rest of the article because the read more button was dizzyingly hidden between ads.
He is claiming self defense and fearing for his life. Will be a tough case.
Just say you think the migrant did it. You are almost there.
Not what I was saying, but since this trial is going to last a month, there is more information than we know. I've done jury duty for a murder/homicide case and that only lasted about a week.
Being able to kill anyone (who's clearly not a threat) touching your property, without any repercussions, is the most barbaric, feudalist weirdest shit I've ever heard of. This type of shit doesn't belong to a supposedly developed country. It belongs to medieval vikings.
Sounds more like you heard an undesirable got shot with a cool gun and are wondering what the official conservative take is.
Obviously they can't go with "he was a legal gun owner and a complete cunt and he killed someone because he wanted to, not because he was forced to" -- it's not profitable enough.
I'm an immigrant myself, you guys need to slow your role. Neither am I a conservative nor preach the 2a. You can be curious about the technicalities of a case without picking a side. I've marched plenty for liberal social causes, but I have never seen so many SJWs ready to attack than on lemmy.
But have you ever read an article?
Anyone can claim to be anything on the internet. If you don't want to be mistaken for a right-wing reactionary, don't respond to "immigrant murdered by Texan gun owner" with "but what if he deserved it?".
What’s the word for believing things about others based on the color of their skin?
Nowhere did I say anything racist, you complete fucking moron.
I didn’t say racist. You did.
I asked you what the word was when you assume things about people based on the color of their skin. Which you objectively did.
Why are you curious, do you think he might have been doing something that deserved an extrajudicial execution?
Nope. I don't agree with extrajudicial execution.
You mean that you are jealous and wish you could do it too.
Lol some of you people are sick.
