Texas jury rules - it's OK to kill escorts and prostitutes

Post Reply New Topic

Here in Texas, we had our own version of Zimmerman-Martin last year and the murderer, Raul Rodriguez, was found guilty and went to prison.

At first glance at the title, I bet there's more to it (couldn't be bothered reading it, but I know how "eye catching emotive headlines" go).

For example, she attacked him or something similar.

Breivic while in the act of shooting children, any other school shooter, is fair game for my deer rifle, from several blocks away where I am in no danger. He was being a danger to people I do not know.

In Texas, an Escort is a Hooker. What was being run was a Craigs List scam, offering what was commonly thought to be sex, and delivering conversation. Taking money might even be legal, but there are hazards.

As more facts emerge, he shot a tire, a bullet fragment hit her. He did not shoot her, did not intend to shoot her, which is why Murder One did not hold up. Assult, Manslaughter, was the charge that would have, but the DA wanted "The Big One."

When the police around here shoot someone six times in the head, they say they were trying to drive away, and could have driven sideways and run over me, so I was attacked. Standing in front of an auto, it does become a weapon.

I agree people should not be killed over small amounts of money, but it happens every day. Mostly they get killed by people doing crime.

I was holding what I thought to be criminals for the police to come sort this out, when they tried to run over me, is a defense. I could not be expected to get run over or shot before reacting.

There are a lot of legal views, but the best is summed up,
"It is better to be tried by twelve, than carried by six."

What kind of philosophy is it to consider preservation of properties more important that preserving human life? This is sick!! !

Should people allow themselves to be robbed without a chance to stop the robbery?

Property requires labor. Labor requires time and life force neither of which can be replaced. Theft is a miniature form of killing.

No.

Should people allow themselves to be raped without a chance to stop the rape?

The whole idea of "Let the thief take what he wants" is too similar to the old "Let the rapist do what he wants" idea - neither of these address the issue that that committing a crime is wrong, and that crime victims should have every right and reason to defend themselves from assault, battery, theft and rape.

And if the criminal dies months later, who is to say that his intended victim is responsible?

No one with any reason to demand justice if they are ever attacked, I'd wager.

It's the same in this country too, although prostitution is not illegal.

An 'escort' is almost always a euphemism for a prostitute/working girl.

So ture. . . Minimum wage for breaking my back - I get robbed every day.

Then isn't killing someone a gigantic form of killing?

Well you may be French, but I still have to say you do not get out much. Try collecting from an Insurance Company, who will claim the loss of your left arm did not impair future earnings because you could do everything with your right.

Life, and all parts of life, are converted to money in the Courts and Congress every day.

I understand I have a right to sue the person who kills me for wrongful death, a Civil Action, and they have a right to appeal to the Supreme Court, and who ever has the most money for lawyers wins, in ten years or so.

I am just trying to avoid legal action, through Instant Karma.

It is not about money, when you jack me and I reach in my pocket, it is not money that comes out, and is handed to your insides, it is my opinion.

Now I have Freedom of Speech, and if Corporations can call bribes Free Speech, I can call objects entering your body Free Speech.

This applies in public places to strangers.

Your life has no value to me, because I do not hold an interest in it,

When it impairs my economic interest, such as robbing me, your life has a negetive value, in that my world would be better off without you.

Stabbing or shooting me so if I live I qualify for welfare and free medical services, is not compensation.

While the Police will give you free room and board, they will keep the money stolen from me, as evidence. As money has no record, it is known to vanish.

This System of Justice works for criminals, and other Police, Lawyers, Judges, Jail Contractors, but all the person robbed gets is being called to testify over and over, then again through appeals, then Parole Hearings.

In the interest of Justice, you must give your full legal name and address each time. This is part of the Public Record open to the criminal, and his friends and gang members, and without your showing up, his charges will be dropped.

So they know where and when you will be leaving home to go to court.

It is called The Criminal Justice System for a reason, it works for all the criminals involved. I see it as The Thieves Union.

Besides getting robbed by it, as a tax payer I am getting robbed twice.

Crime, and the prison system, is our main growth industry. It passed the cost of Schools years ago, now it costs more than medical care, and the unfunded pensions of all the Public Employees involved.

What they all have in common is they prey on those that work and own property. This is unsupportable.

It costs more to send someone to jail than to Harvard.

To preserve all of our property, the education of our children, and preserve the minority non criminal class, something else has to be done.

I look to tradition, Feed them to the lions.

Give everyone a Social Credit Card, bill them for costs, and when they hit some limit, part them out. That would take care of some problems, and preserve human life.

The popularity of Zombie movies is said to be a free expression of what to do with the living dead who only want to eat your brains. Reasonable force is not an issue.

If human life has a value, it has to be admitted that for some the value is much less than zero.

We get rid of the living dead, or they get rid of us, then the poor things will starve. The humane response is spay, nuter, adopt as slaves, or terminate.

The health education and welfare of any herd calls for culling.

It's not ok to kill prostitutes, it's ok to kill thieves.

Bingo! You got it!

Just to throw in my 2 cents:

I am personally appalled by the entire situation. I feel that it was a wrong and excessive action to shoot someone for $150. It is also my opinion that laws which allow this to happen without severe consequences are unjust.

That being said, He was tried in a legal court of law, and found to be innocent based on LAW. While I am morally outraged, I feel that I cannot comment negatively on this case any further, as the legal process has been strictly adhered to.

I've never been arrested, have been robbed, and treat other people's money (or property) as more valuable than my own. And I am a liberal.

Ditto.

I have been mugged twice, had my car stolen twice, had my apartment broken into, and been detained by the police for 6 hours before they finally conceded that I had done nothing wrong. I have strong liberal leanings, despite the left being a little too extreme for me (same for the right). The second time I was mugged, I'm almost certain I would have been able to shove him in front of the passing bus and not get stabbed, but I personally feel that a human life is worth more than the contents of my wallet. Even if that human is using his life in a less than stellar way.

As for liberals being generous with other people's money, the same can be said for conservatives. The only real difference is what they do with other people's money.
