    Man kills woman Uber driver in grisly shooting after scam caller triggered tragedy: Police

    I do in fact know what it means. That is incorrect. Malice is when you are intentionally trying to do something bad. Someone who merely wants to protect themselves from criminals is not intentionally trying to do something bad. The danger may not have been imminent, but he still felt like he...

    Sure there is. He thought he was in danger from criminals. Which is why it doesn't count as perfect self defense. Sure there is. He was in fear of criminals. Yes. Voluntary manslaughter is the correct charge here. Sure there is. He was in fear of criminals.

    Not murder. Imperfect self defense isn't murder. Good point. Mr. Rittenhouse was fleeing a pack of murdering terrorists.

    Man kills woman Uber driver in grisly shooting after scam caller triggered tragedy: Police

    The lack of premeditation diminishes his responsibility. And so does the lack of malice. He does not deserve to be charged for crimes more serious than what he committed. Ohio does however recognize the mental state of a killer, and has different crimes based on whether a killing was...

    This guy should have done so as well. Someone who feared that "letting someone leave" would further the attacks being made against him would be inclined to prevent such a departure. He had no such knowledge. Actually he was trying to prevent her from contacting any coconspirators. Those...

    Man kills woman Uber driver in grisly shooting after scam caller triggered tragedy: Police

    The story indicates that the guy was in fear for his life. You've not made any arguments. Not really relevant. It did not appear that way to the guy who shot her. I defend him because it horrifies me when I see progressives lynching people. You already aren't responding to me. I mean, sure...

    He should have. That's one of the reasons why he is facing imperfect self defense instead of perfect self defense. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sure there is. He was trying to protect himself from the criminals who were preying...

    He still feared being preyed upon by the criminals. He can use it to claim imperfect self defense. He was still being scammed. He clearly didn't believe her. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That is incorrect. It means he intended...

    Man kills woman Uber driver in grisly shooting after scam caller triggered tragedy: Police

    Okay up to this point, but... There is no evidence that this was anything more than imperfect self defense. The end of your post is okay as well. It's just the untrue claim of multiple crimes that was in error...

    Man kills woman Uber driver in grisly shooting after scam caller triggered tragedy: Police

    IF. That was not the case here. There was no bias. That is incorrect. He thought she was the criminal who was preying on him. That is incorrect. His issue was the criminals who were preying on him. You are. You have made several errors. That as well is wrong. He was only scared of the...

    More guns = More death?

    No. I didn't miss it. I just dismissed it as being completely irrelevant and off topic. Nothing that they can say will alter the reality that gun availability has little correlation with homicide rates.

    It is a brilliant argument only when it is the factual truth. It is the truth that makes it such a good argument. It doesn't really work in situations that have nothing to do with someone being killed.

    It wouldn't really apply. He didn't kill anyone.

    I promise to stop ridiculing your arguments if you start presenting compelling arguments. That is incorrect. There was no red herring. You really did use namecalling as a substitute for a compelling argument.

    More guns = More death?

    No. I mean there is little correlation. No manipulation. If you provide a link to the post I'll look it over. But challenging some other study does not undermine any of the statistics that I refer to. There is very little correlation. Doesn't change the fact that civilians are allowed to...
