I was cutting my grass last week. Now I always cut my grass very short. I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and accidently went too far and cut part of my neighbor's lawn. My neighbor came out yelling at me. He told me the next time I go onto his property, he will shoot me. Now, I know he is capable of shooting me. He is often in his backyard shooting his automatic weapons. And, I know he has pistols, rifles, and a crossbow. For all I know he has explosives as well. Some of these weapons may be illegal.

Now, I'm thinking about going out and getting a gun so I can launch a pre-emptive strike, so he can't carry through with his threat. I plan to break into his house at night, put the gun to his head and tell him to give me all his weapons. I consulted with all my other neighbors about this and they think he should give up his weapons as well, but only one has agreed to help me with my plan. This neighbor is going to hold the rest of the family at bay, why I carry out the plan. I know he is going to tell me that he has no weapons, but I know better. So I am probably going to have to shoot and kill him. Well, the neighborhood is better off without him anyway.

Given recent world events, I guess my action would be legal and justified. Anyway, I'm giving him the choice to live without his weapons or die. If I have to kill him, it will be his choice to die right? He will be forcing me to pull the trigger and it is him who chooses death.

On second thought, maybe when he is in the process of handing over his weapons, I will kill him anyway and free the neighborhood from his tyranny.

(This is pure fiction. I have no plan to hurt anyone)

 

dude you have a lot of free time on your hands

 

 

No, I think it's a good analogy.

 

put the gun to his head and make him hand over the weapons. jsut odnt kill him thats wrong

 

hahaha, it's great. I'd flip him off every time you see him.

If he points a gun at you, call the police. He has no right to be pointing a gun at you for making a gesture.

:fawk: (B000m)

 

I don't think it's a correct analogy because it started over a lawn mowing incident (trivial) as compared to genocide and use of weapons of mass destruction (serious). The end result of both scenarios are use of force but the actions leading up to it don't click for me.

 

nope cause if he does, that is assualt with a deadly weapon. so yeah flip him off everytime you see him. if he thinks he is mature enough to own those weapons, then he should be mature enough to laugh at that.

 

If you were not an admin... I'd argue with you... but I'll just look the other way... this time.
