re: #81 stabby

You can tell her that they they will certainly be killed in the act if doing so will make anyone safer. But if they make it to being safely arrested, then they get a trial.

People who don’t think too deeply confuse issues, so she may be thinking that shooting them on the spot will save lifes, but that already happens if it will.

Aside from religious ignorance (which is a pre-requisite for attending her church; I’ve listened to her preacher’s sermons online), she’s pissed about this guy “killing babies”. Fair enough. I tried laying out for her the idea that if caught, it would help everybody to pick the killer’s brain apart down to the last nut and bolt to figure out his major malfunction, before deciding on a death penalty, but she just wanted him dead in her mind.

It’s weird. In our lunch group I’m the guy that legally carries a gun, I’m the guy that owns an AR, I’m the Dirrrty Kuffar atheist, and you think I’d be the quick-trigger commando-wannabe killer in this scenario, but I’m just not. I’ve separated my emotions from the mechanics of these things and I’d rather think it through and do what’s right, rather than what satisfies the Angry Monkey within.
