If he shows up at my door, I'll gladly house him. You should too.
And you don’t have to ask him why he is running. It’s perfectly legal to help a stranger in need without asking them if they broke the law. In fact, it used to be seen as the most Christian thing to do by not judging.
I said exactly this to my friend on the phone today.
Aiding and abetting murder can result in the same charges and penalties as the principal offender, which could include life in prison without parole
Your statement could be true, but the way you’re presenting it sounds like you’re just letting the oppressors win.
Getting locked up by an oppressor. Whoever heard of that?
Got a loaded shotgun waiting for any pig that thinks I'm going in quietly for doing the right thing
We all should
Big talker aren't ya
If you're dumb enough to go into jail when fascism is in charge that's on you
Its called having a plan and knowing what your government thinks of people like you
That's the thing about big talkers. They always talk big.
That's the thing about bitches, they assume everyone else doesn't have the basic strength of will to follow their convictions
Sad that you'd let fascists take you in. Pathetic, really
Sad that keyboard warriors usually have to face their truth eventually. They're so entertaining
If you find "I keep a loaded shotgun at my door and am not afraid to kill fascists rather than be taken by them" to be keyboard warrior talk then damn, son, you must live a pathetic fucking life
Don't listen to this dumbass. I've got a loaded shotgun at the door too. And a little hatchet in case things aren't as deadly.
See? Getting personal is always the last resort.
Last resort of...?
Like I said: pathetic
This isn't true. Harboring someone from the police after they commit a crime makes you an accessory, not a primary.
Edit: to be more concrete and actually cite what I'm saying (my bad), we'll use federal law since they clearly crossed state lines multiple times in the stages of committing this ~~act of heroism~~ crime:
If enough people are accessories, no one is an accessory
I'm sorry I don't watch the news, so I have no idea who this person on my couch is, he just looked like a good guy who does good things.
Don't let them find your Lemmy account.
What is this "Lemmy" you speak of? Never heard of it...
I do not care
username checks out
No it doesn't. If it did, the comment would say "Shark does not care".
Wink.
I will take a jury trial ;)
Good luck
it hurts you that people support this guy hehe
good
Doesn't hurt me. I don't support murderers
your tone says other wise, my neo lib acolyte
Then you must be in quite a conundrum with who was killed here; if you want justice for the CEO by finding the killer of the CEO, you're supporting a murderer; if you support the killer of the CEO, you're supporting a killer.
Tough moral quandary.
Yes, all the death can be laid at the feet of one guy. What a simplistic place to live.
Said the guy that "doesn't support a murderer" no matter what.
Meant as irony..
Nah, you don't get to claim "I didn't mean it it was a joke" when people disagree with your opinion
It takes a lot of people to make a missile, yet it only takes one to declare war. Who's more at fault? If I steal a thousand elderly people's retirement savings, and someone else steals my car, are we equally thieves? What if the son of a person who I stole from took it, does that change anything?
Of course. So let's shoot him in the back.
No, that would be bad. But if that retirement stealer continues to steal, and the law doesn't do anything, and the whole system is made so he will never get any consequences, there could be a moment when shooting him in the back is the only moral decision
And exactly what happened
I like how in your quest for moral absolutism you came full circle and found the basis for absolute immortality.
Me to the judge: He said he was my cousin Paddy!
Me to the shooter: You lied to me! *wangs him with a skillet*
problem solved.
sudo !!
