Another Zimmerman?

My favorite SNL Jeopardy Exchange of all time:


Sean Connery: I've got to ask you about the Penis Mightier.

Alex Trebek: What? No. No, no, that is The Pen is Mightier.

Sean Connery: Gussy it up however you want, Trebek. What matters is does it work? Will it really mighty my penis, man?

Alex Trebek: It's not a product, Mr. Connery.

Sean Connery: Because I've ordered devices like that before - wasted a pretty penny, I don't mind telling you. And if The Penis Mightier works, I'll order a dozen.

Alex Trebek: It's not a Penis Mightier, Mr. Connery. There's no such thing!

Nicholas Cage: Wait, wait, wait.. are you selling Penis Mightiers?

Alex Trebek: No! No, I'm not.

interesting. so I find it odd that a guy would feel the need to go out and pull a weapon on a people who he thought might be breaking into cars. In the original scenario the person rushing the gun owner is also defending himself, just with not the optimum weapon within the showdown.

Not necessarily... It's not like the guy said "Move an inch and I'll shoot." He said (paraphrased): "Don't move the police are on the way." If they had turned and ran away and then he shot, you guarantee that he would be in jail forever, or get the needle (too lazy to go back and look what state it was in).

The rushing the gun wielder is what made it 'legal' for him to shoot.

Exactly! Thanks!

Nope. This guy should have got manslaughter at least. Poor thinking on his part. Why are we rewarding ordinary people with hero complexes killing people?

Earlier about the woman who fired the "warning shots", read the whole story. Not just the news media defending the defendant.

The actual motions from the court hearings.

Nope. She got what she deserves. She left for the garage, didn't get into the car, and got a gun. She fired "warning shots" that could have hit her kids in the next room. Not thinking with a weapon.

I don't get it.

What does this have to do with the topic at hand?

I don't get it.

I think the sentence is lengthier than warrantedbut otherwise agree.

Madman, please lighten up.

[habsheaven]

20 years for firing a gun in which no one was hurt. And this is "got what she deserved"? You guys are ridiculous. Let's use that standard for all other forms of crime. Sometimes I swear you guys are shareholders of a huge prison conglomerate.
