I'm asking you in general, not about this case specifically. You seem to think that killing someone in self-defense is somehow wrong, which is rather extreme.

Those two things have nothing to do with it. I just find such extreme pacifism to be quite bizarre, regardless of who it's coming from. Like, you wouldn't use deadly force to stop someone from killing a child?

I don't care what you find bizarre, i think deliberately taking life is bizarre.

Like i would do what i could to prevent them killing a child, one does not have to kill.

And, most likely, you will find a litany of responses that say "NONSENSE; sarcastic "Communism is coming to get you"; you don't care about people; it's the guns and so much more.

All the while they want to defund the police, censors free speech, want more governmental control and espouse socialistic mantras.

IMHO

What makes you think I want to defund the police, censor free speech or want more government control? I have no idea what espouse socialistic mantras means? If it means I believe armed civilians walking on public streets is madness and stupidity then you're right.

I think it's a matter of focus rather than not caring.

What i find interesting here is that of those "focussed" on it's no biggie that 2 people were killed just happen to be pro life. I wonder at what age the hypocrisy becomes ok?

It was a policeman in self defense.

The answer makes sense in regards to my question.
did I say you wanted the police to be defunded? Or did I say that there will be people who will pick up the ridiculous mantra of defunding the police!

Yes, you quoted my words then said "they want"...

So now you can answer my questions.

No, I answered the poster. "litany of responses" could be you or someone else.

In this case the correct application is the old adage, "If the shoe fits, wear it" :) If it isn't your size, you are ok. :)

Incorrect. By quoting my words then saying "they want" I am included. You could always apologise or amend your post so that it doesn't bear false witness against me.

Or simply answer my questions.

I'm not sure what your question is. I certainly don't know your position... I assume you aren't for defunding the police...

Thus, the correct application is still "If the shoe fits" :)
No apologies necessary because it apparently wasn't directed to you.
