I’m not saying one is worse than the other, rather that both fucked around and found out.

Well that's strange because one is a convicted murderer.

I find this kind of “appeal to the system when it agrees with me” strange

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

What do you mean, by any system one is a murderer one is a burglar what's not to agree with?

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And the others probably would have been convicted of burglary if they lived, what’s your point?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Absolutely. If you think unarmed burglary and premeditated murder are the same morally and legally I cannot agree.

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Never said that. You are taking everything I say and twisting it.

The man is a murderer, the intruders are burglars, everyone sucks here. That is the only point I have ever made in this thread.

Except it isn't, you keep saying he had the right for the first few shots the jury found he did not.

I hope none of this comes off as a defense of that asshole, but facts matter, and those teens did commit a crime. I don’t think they deserved to be executed for it, but he was within his rights to defend himself when they broke in to his home. He was not within his rights to execute them after the threat was over.

And I am definitively saying the murderer is worse than his victims

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Agreed. Never said he wasn’t.

I'm not saying one (the murderer) is worse than the other (the murder victims)

  • You, clarifications mine

You are correct, I misspoke there. I was intending to say that I wasn’t saying the burglars were worse than the murderer—it just came out wrong.
