Illinois: Phelps files to override Quinn's amendatory veto of concealed carry bill.

69. To put it very simple

"unarmed" is often a misnomer. The equivalent of 29.7 Sandy Hooks every year are with bare hands.
If you kill in the defense of your life and/or physical safety, you are morally justified. That is a natural right, and a human right.

And how is it that losing a fight is justification to kill someone? People get in fist fights all the time. Only the nut jobs and homicidal killers pull out guns. I used to get in fights with a couple of boys in my grade school (okay, I know you're not surprised). I certainly never pulled out a gun. The fact the boy was six inches taller and 30 lbs heavier than me meant I had my hands full, but it wouldn't have justified my killing him.

It was not a fist fight, it was a "ground and pound". Once again, the reasonable fear of grave bodily harm or death, there is every moral right to pull the trigger. No exceptions.
If this guy
attacks this guy with his bare fists, there is a disparity of force. Meaning, the fact that Matt does not have an artifact in his hand is irrelevant. The disparity of force is enough to give Chris a reasonable fear for his personal safety. Mr. Hayes has every legal and moral right to do whatever it takes to survive including blowing his redneck ass away with a .357. Why is that so hard to grasp? Under every law in North American recognizes that. Most likely every law in the world recognizes that. The Dali Lama agrees with that. You might be a complete pacifist, but Chris Hayes nor anyone else has no moral obligation to die for something you believe in. I find that morally repugnant and disgusting.
I don't care about speculation and myth that is assumed to be fact. This is the reality:

It has nothing to with justice for Trayvon or anyone else. It has some to do with ideology like I said before

My view is this, I have no tolerance for ideologues on the right or the left that that mindlessly believe whatever Free Republic or Raw Story tells them and can't accept the reality of the situation. If that makes me a poor progressive, so be it.

That is my bottom line. Unless you have proof that John Good or any of the other witnesses lied, Angela Corey would be more than happy to have it. Until then, spare me.
