Rick over South Florida Daily Blog present us the video of a local case of an altercation and tries to imply he is butch.
Seriously, he has to remove The Narrative out if his brain. This “shoot the bad guy and the ride into the sunset with the blonde with big tits” is gonna hurt him bad.
I left my way too frigging long comments in his post. If you feel kind, add to it and show him the ugly reality and why we fight so hard to keep our rights and “stack” the laws on our side…which is also his side if he ever needs to defend himself.
Be nice about it, I was nasty enough for everybody 😉
Funny how that since you are not a bloodthirsty villain in your comments all of a sudden now you are a coward who watches too much TV. Westerns, I’m sure.
I swear sometimes one wants to give up seen the level of idiocy that floats out there. But for them is easier to hold on to the Narrative than investigate what really happens.
When you get a chance from your busy schedule of putting words into other people’s mouth for effect tell me:
A) Where I called you a coward, and
B) Where I try to imply that I am “butch.” The post was about what I would like to see happen just once. I’m surprised to hear that you actually believe that defending oneself from an unprovoked attack is “butch.”
Go ahead….without effect this time, k?
[facepalm]
Lesson lost…..
I’m only left with two options for Rick after that comment.
A) He Can’t Understand. Its just beyond his abilities.
B) He Won’t understand. He has his world view, and his mind is shut tight and sealed. And he’s PROUD of his impenetrable brain bunker.
I don’t know what is more shameful, but Rick’s lack of shame is most shameful of all.
I do hope he is lucky and lives a peaceful life. I’d sure hate to see him as a Breaking News on our local Channel 7.
Hey Rick? Answer a question for me.
Was it you I tangled with over on Bobs blog last week or was it another rick.?
Kinda neat how “Compassionate” “Progressives” seem to have such vivid fantasies about killing people…but also get pissed off when a buzzkill comes in with those pesky facts, figures, and real-world happenings to make that pipe dream vanish.
Oh gotta run! Seal Team 6 just called, they have a job only I can handle! 😉
The troll wants traffic/attention.
You gave it to him.
Meh?
True, but hopefully one reader will get the info and save his ass from trouble.
Newsflash: Miguel did this post willingly, guys. I didn’t ask for the traffic. But gracias, amigos!
Miguel, c’mon back when you’re able to answer those real, real tough questions I asked over there.
Hey, and I did learn something: When someone is coming at you, throw your arms up in the air and surrender! Thanks. Hope all my readers got that one. All their asses will be saved!
Come at me bro! Come at me!
Is the term “douche nozzle” leaping into anyone else’s head?
Yep.. Surrender position.
This is the way we do surrender position if things get funkier than needed.
I’d say with cover garment, from beep to first shot just a bit over a second? maybe 1.25 seconds?
If they think that’s cheating…they are right 🙂
No one said he did not, but given your intelligence level, I guess we should come to expect a markedly lacking level of reading comprehension on your part. Likewise, we can absolutely count on you relying on specious logical fallacies (in this case, a “straw man” – look it up) to support your rather sad position.
Newsflash, sparky: you are not here for the hunting.
You, sir, are an idiot, and one for whom the concepts of “defusing the situation”, “distracting your aggressor”, and “projecting the appearance of submission” are apparently too complicated to understand. I am curious – have you had any self-defense training to speak of, are are you ignorant as well as idiotic?
“This “shoot the bad guy and the ride into the sunset with the blonde with big tits” is gonna hurt him bad.”
Indeed. Those things’ll kill ya.
To frame the issue, one should read the relevant Florida statutes, primarily:
776.012 Use of force in defense of person.—A person is justified in using force, except deadly force, against another when and to the extent that the person reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself or herself or another against the other’s imminent use of unlawful force.
However, a person is justified in the use of deadly force and does not have a duty to retreat if:
(1) He or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another or to prevent the imminent commission of a forcible felony; or
(2) Under those circumstances permitted pursuant to s. 776.013.
Unfortunately, the legislature has failed to define key phrases such as “great bodily harm,” and “imminent,” and “reasonably believes”. Although the legislature has defined “forcible felony” it is unclear what reasonableness standard applies to each forcible felony. The case law does not provide clear answers either.
Personally, what I find incredibly fascinating is when a person opposes the death penalty, yet strongly favors the principles embodied by 776.012, i.e. a citizen’s right to use deadly force. In other words, assuming one advocates that the victim in the video was morally entitled to use deadly force, once the perp is captured and convicted, why shouldn’t society give the perp the electric chair? or death by firing squad? (for purposes of the question, assume the justice system never errs in conviction)
To be fair there is always this false dichotomy done between lethal force, Abortion, and Capital Punishment, and while all three result in a dead human body the scenarios are vastly different.
With lethal force its killing a person who has unjustly imposed the threat of lethal, or severe violence upon you in order to simply STOP the attack. (ie if you pull your gun and they run away or surrender, you may not further engage. If you shoot the person and incapacitate them, but they survive their wounds, a “Coup de Grace” is murder, only killing in direct defense of a deadly or severe attack is permissible)
Abortion is killing of a baby who has yet to have a signed birth certificate, and who is generally in the state that all of us were once at a time. (I’ll leave the general arguments out of this for another time)
Death Penalty is a PUNISHMENT imposes AFTER a severe crime has been COMPLETED. Any arguments about this PREVENTING a crime is entirely speculative for the future behavior of the convicted. Generally the condemned is restrained, and in state supplied garments in a high-security facility, so at the time of their death they really pose no threat to anybody at all.
Now that’s not to say there aren’t pros and cons of all, but they really can’t be argued on the same level.
Oh and for me I’m Pro, Con, Pro, respectively 🙂
Agreed.
As an aside, Rick seems to be the type of peer one would want on a jury following a defensive shoot.
Not really, he’s opinionated and closed minded.
Maybe he’ll be the person who likes you from the get go and will always argue FOR you no matter what…but what about the other side of that coin?
Also he’s an internet troll who makes controversial statements and either avoid responses or follows up with catty non sequiturs.
Could be he’s also cowardly and would be quick to yield to other jurors even when they might not be rational.
People whose first response is to pull a gun in a fist fight situation with a normal sized human are not tough. The attacker in this video had zero fighting skills, he was not particularly large or scary, but the victim was total wuss with no fighting skills. The victim basically let this guy beat him up – he did not try to defend himself or fight back. $1000 says he’s a liberal. Want to be tough? Train in all weapons. Train in standup fighting and ground work. Keep in shape. Don’t be a victim in any way. Pick the right defense for the right circumstance. In a one on one fist fight, weapons are a last resort. Fight like a man or run away.
