Locked because I keep getting reports from people arguing. Cool off.
I guess Ukrainians are murdering Russians right now?
Seems about right, but your definition is very broad, and definitely would not hold up in a court of law.
How delusional do you need to be to make this correlation? Did Ukraine drive across country lines to participate in another countries conflict?
Are Ukrainians not specifically armed, and going to where the Russian occupiers are?
I’ve seen enough drone drop videos to know that they are indeed killing Russians
I’d hate people that came in to my country and just started shooting missiles at schools and hospitals.
It quite literally fits the “definition” that was posted. Of course it’s absurd, that’s the whole point. The definition the other person was using was broad and vague enough that it dilutes the term to the point where the word no longer conveys useful meaning, yet they still insisted that meaning applied in a very well defined legal sense.
That’s a lot of words for you just making up a straw man. It’s not even remotely an applicable comparison. I have no idea why you would bring it up and it serves no purpose.

I mean, the other guy literally made up a definition for murder and argued that. It is as strawman as it gets. I just pointed out that the definition they created encompasses clear cut self defense situations. And… That they can’t expect a court of law to hold someone accountable for murder using their made up definition of the term. So either Kyle did murder people, using that made up definition, but the term loses its meaning because the made up definition dilutes it, or Kyle didn’t murder anyone, because the actual definition for murder does not encompass cases of self defense.
I never said I was a lawyer. Bye bad-faither.
Neither did I, and I don’t think anyone would believe it right now if you did.
I’m not the one making up my own definition for murder and then getting mad when other people point out that my definition is very loose, lacks meaningful implications, and encompasses clear-cut defensive situations.
TTFN.
My favorite type of troll. The one going around trying to hold people to legal definitions if it suits them, dismissing any logic not aligned with what a court would say.
Oh, you’re back already? That was fast.
Not trolling. Anyone can freely look up a video of the shooting, and the events leading up to it. Having seen the video first hand, it is clearly a defensive shooting. Secondly, you are accusing someone of murder based on your own loose logic, and pretending that it should have the same implications and stigma as the legal definition, since you previously opined that he “walked” away from legal consequences. In that case, you are a murderer, by my arbitrary out of my ass definition, because you killed your argument.
What a weakly strung together pile of idiocy
Self-reflection is a removed, ain’t it?
You wouldn’t know. Because by this nothing burger of an argument, no one is allowed an opinion that wouldn’t hold up in a specific courtroom. Because as we all know, courtrooms have only ever decided cases a) accurately to reflect the law and b) under laws that are 100% just.
Therefore, FascistDefender9000 is forced to conclude that opinions contrary to legal definitions are 100% evil and abhorrent, and are identical to just making up any shit that can be imagined.
What’s next in a world where people’s opinions aren’t based on law? Social change? Dogs and cats living together?! I cannot just sit idly by while opinions like “taking a gun to menace people you hate and then killing them likely means you premeditated exactly such a scenario” exist!!!
I think your definition of murder is shit, regardless of a courtroom being involved, hence why my first first example didn’t involve a courtroom at all.
Funny name there. Thinly veiled ad-hominems aside, do you think that Kyle Rittenhouse (or anyone else) should be denied due process because of their fascist beliefs? That actually sounds pretty fascist to me…
Not what I said. This is a poor attempt at a strawman.
Pretty much the usual shit? Laws are based on established opinions about social conduct. You’re the one who thinks that your opinion of what makes a person a murderer should be used in legal proceedings, which is why you are so angry that a teen in a clear-cut self defense scenario did not get convicted of murder.
That is your opinion on what happened. In the case of what actually happened, should Kyle, or anyone else, lay on the ground and let people beat, and possibly even execute them, after they tried to de-escalate and escape the situation, or do they have a right to defend themselves?
Yes, it’s justified so it’s self defense.
You should really think about things before you speak.
No shit, of course it’s justified. That’s the whole point.
Then it’s justified homicide… You know … fucking murder with an excuse.
Ya dumb
Yep. That’s the point again. Seems like you really got it.
Too easy.
Ya dumb.

You’d rather get irate for an hour over something you can Google in 5 seconds.
I may be dumb, but I’m smarter than you.
You’re not keeping up. They don’t believe it to be lawful so the correct term is murder as you just evidenced yourself.
Ya dumb.
In that case, we’re just arbitrarily making up definitions to words and pretending that the whole world accepts our definition as the definition. Which is fucking dumb. Which is why I pointed out that the definition TD was using was not sufficient. Can I call you a murderer because you’ve responded like a moron, and I hereby define that as the definition for murder? Hello? 911? We have a murderer on the loose, come lock them up?
Of course not. It’s a fucking stupid argument. Either words have meaning, or they don’t. If you want to call Kyle a killer thats fair. He definitely killed someone, but it falls way short of murder. Even if it was unlawful, it still doesn’t meet the test for murder, probably manslaughter instead (the crime of killing a human being without malice aforethought, or otherwise in circumstances not amounting to murder). Or, words don’t have meaning. Therefore, “distant your flexible you volume”. It probably means something nice.
Ukrainians HAVE been murdering Russians since 2014, tho…
