Are we ready for some more CF stupid?
Over in
childfree (I know, I know), there is a discussion about a man who was frustrated at a group of kids repeatedly throwing rocks at his house, so he shot and killed one of them. While there is some expected sympathy towards the man,
slithead brings the stupid with his claims that arresting this man is bullshit. That alone would not have made me tread the waters, but this comment takes the cake:
What if the guy owned indoor pets? A house may be an inanimate object, but a thrown rock could lead to a broken window, which could lead to a pet escaping, which could lead to death for the pet. That's why deadly force would be justified if other approaches (like calling the police) had proven ineffective at solving the problem.
