So you're ok with Kate Steinle's killer getting off through jury nullification?fka ftc said:Brittmoore Car Club said:InfantryAg said:I'm all for citizens stopping criminals. But there are laws that were passed by legislators representing the citizens. Use of deadly force is pretty specific, but here many want to forgo any sense of rule of law, because the outcome is one they agree with.Brittmoore Car Club said:Damn, good honest people stand up to violent criminals that the liberals keep letting back out onto the streets there?

If you carry out justice on someone in the act of committing a felony or even appearing to commit a felony, then you have ABSOLUTE, COMPLETE immunity from any prosecution. Including any "felony in possession of a firearm" nonsense.
We need way more vigilante justice and community provided law enforcement. Good shoot. I would even be fine with him reloading and ensuring the sentence was completed by the offender.
Where do you draw the line. Your kid cut me off in traffic, so I get to shoot him?
Vigilantism can go wrong, real fast. The judicial system failing doesn't mean we should disregard all laws.
If a cop was the shooter, most of this board would be calling for him to be jailed. And that would be appropriate.
Hell no, a cop should have done the same thing. He was still threatening people. I do not fear your slippery slope argument. Shooting people for cutting you off in traffic lol. You could have always done that, I don't think we'll see a ramp up.
Cop would have been right to shoot him at any time during that robbery. But prob would have dropped him as soon as gun was brandished.
It's a good shoot. Only thing questionable was the final coupe shots after guy was down. They may try to fry him for that.
Would make for a good case for jury nullification. We need more of that in this country when it comes to these cases. Yep he did what you said he did prosecutor, we heard you judge on your instructions, and we are exercising our express right to acquit the accused. Not guilty and if you try and charge him with another crime we will say not guilty on that as well. Goodnight and good luck.
I'm not necessarily against jury nullification, but it also can be an injustice.
