Generalizations.
Helping idiots hate other idiots since people have existed.

How awful.

Well, I suppose if the mother's life was in danger...

Why did he not shoot him in the leg?

I'm sure he'll be asking himself the same thing.
"Shoot to wound" is BS. If you're shooting someone, you're accepting that you could kill them. If it so happens that you end their ability to threaten others without killing them, then great, but it's not something you can aim to do (no pun intended).

I don't see the logic in this. It's a bullet that goes in an almost perfect straight path. You can easily shoot someone without killing them.

Hope he goes to jail.


why. he saved his mom


It was obviously a plan to kill the father made by the mother and the child. She pushes him so far till he cracks until he starts abusing her. The perfect crime. The child comes in and murders the dad. No one else witnesses it. They can back each other up.

If the father was being the abusive one, I think he was doing the best thing. Not necessarily the right thing, but the best in this situation.

For all questions with answers unknown to you, the proper procedure is to assume the answer is peanut butter.

While that may be true, I'm just going to pretend otherwise.

You quite literally said, "Killing someone is against the law. He has to go to prison."

This young boy acted in the defense of his mother using lethal force on her attacker. Charging him under those circumstances is exactly like saying soldiers should be charged with murder for every enemy combatant killed.

There are always exceptions to the law, and almost every action can be justified to some extent. Killing someone to preserve someone else's life is justified, even the law itself has provisions laid for these cases. He acted in the preservation of life, so he isn't guilty of murder unless a jury finds that he used excessive violence when it was completely unnecessary.

Castle law, self-defense, defense of others, etc.

I don't know what country you're in, but in the US, we have the right to defend ourselves, loved ones, and innocents from attack, even with lethal force if necessary. It's not so black-and-white. By your logic, soldiers should be sent to prison upon returning home if they kill am enemy combatant in theater.

That made no sense.

If you factor in the mass of the bullet, the material, and know where the arteries are, you should be able to shoot without killing.

I said it's wrong if it's against the law. Killing in combat is not against the law (depending on how you do it).

You're asking for someone to think too much which is nearly impossible in a situation like this.

LOL'd.

Trying to hit a moving target, in a high-adrenaline situation, without taking the time to aim perfectly (time is of the essence, here, or else mom is going to die). Not to mention that no matter how good a shot you are, any gunshot carries the risk of death. Hitting vital organs, hitting arteries, etc. As Recon will surely point out, shooting to wound indicates that you could use less-than-lethal force, at which point using a gun (a lethal weapon) is unnecessary force and thus illegal. If the situation is bad enough to warrant a gun, then it's shoot to kill. If the person survives, great, but it's not a primary objective. The objective is to end the threat.

You're talking about making extremely precise calculations under extreme stress. It's not that simple to use a firearm effectively, especially under stress.

He deserves to go to jail. He killed someone, thus broke the law, thus he gets prison time. This is pretty simple.

That's not how the law works.
