Nope. I’m not a racist.

You like guys like this I guess. I bet you don't even want to see

executed,

I am opposed to the death penalty, even for scumbags like the one
described in the article you cited.


But you would execute a Feral dog for being aggressive.


No different than I would treat a violent home invader... .357
Magnum in
the center of body mass.


So you are really for executions.

Only if he gets to do it I guess.
In Maryland, I hope he has a good lawyer, the intruder has a gun,
actually gets off a round and the intruder is white.


Absurd. You boys need to learn how to read.
There's no requirement I let a "violent home invader" do whatever he
wants to the people who live here after he breaks into the house. I'm a
male in my 70s...no prosecutor is going to come after me for defending
myself or my wife in the circumstances I described. Someone breaks in
while we are at home and is threatening our lives, and the last thing he
will hear is the report of a .357 Magnum self-defense round coming out
of my S&W revolver.

When one is in one's home, one may use deadly force against an attacker
if deadly force is necessary to prevent the attacker from committing a
felony that involves the use of force, violence, or surprise (such as
murder, robbery, burglary, rape, or arson). Crawford v. State, 231 Md.
354, 190 A.2d 538 (1963)




You may not be charged with anything for defending yourself but you
might be subject to a civil lawsuit for wrongful death by the relatives
of the perp. That said though, if it comes down to him or you (or your
wife) there's no question what the decision should be.

The presence of a 3d party goes a long way toward the defense if you
shoot someone but the operative word in Harry's citation is
"attacker". You have to demonstrate "forcible felony" AND "imminent
threat" not just that your "personal space" was invaded.


It would be helpful to read my post (I don't mean you, Greg) before
commenting about the legal penalties I might face. As in "violent home
invader," "threatening" "prevent from committing a felony...force,
violence, surprise, et cetera."
