So now a jury will decide if killing him was wrong or not.
And I’m looking forward to them deciding it was wrong to murder him. If it was wrong for him to kill people, then it was wrong for Luigi to kill as well. Can’t have it both ways.
Which, by the way, is why I’m also against the death penalty.
I stand by what I said: I don’t believe in murdering anyone for any reason. Quaker (Society of Friends) upbringing here. You won’t change my mind. You can bring up all the Hitler scenarios you want. Prison, yes. Murder, no.
I don’t care if you, or all of Lemmy, disagree with me. I’m allowed my opinion, as you are allowed yours.
Accepting only ideal solutions mean some problems don’t get solved. More die. Sometimes millions. Millions more people getting murdered is not somehow the murder-is-always-wrong side of the equation.
The trolley problem is not a cute cartoon and absolute stubbornness is not a virtue. Certainly not when it’s something you were inculcated in from childhood, rather than anything you chose.
‘I would let Hitler live if captured’ is vaguely magnanimous. ‘We should’ve shot zero Nazis because allied soldiers attacking camp guards were indistinguishable from people operating the gas chambers’ is dogmatic horseshit.
I look forward to a mistrial or acquittal. Again, we’ve already decided as a nation that killing someone, under certain circumstances, like self defense or defense of another, is not a crime.
I also don’t agree with the death penalty. Mainly because it creates scenarios where people can be robbed of due process and killed by the state before the truth comes to light.

Which I disagree with. Murder of anyone for anyone is wrong in my book. I look forward to him getting convicted and sentenced to life in prison. And I think he will be.

‘YES.’

I haven’t changed my mind, and I won’t.
Argument ad la la la I can’t hear you.
I don’t know what that means. If you can’t understand what I wrote, then I can’t help you. Lets just see if he gets convicted or not. 😀
