It could go the other way.


It could have, but now instead of the focus being on a burglar, it's on a pair of alleged murderers who were caught in the act on camera.


(Which IMO should send them to the death penalty but that's another issue)


Are you saying being a burglar is worse than being a murderer?

You don't know they are murderers.

Hence why I said 'alleged'. Or did you miss that part?
Still didn't answer my question: is being a burglar worse than a murderer?

No. Being a burglar isn't worse than being a murderer, although I fail to see what that has got to do with anything.

And yet you are saying just that by giving the men who were caught on tape shooting this man (allegedly) justification, while he was allegedly a burglar (no proof he was).

That's not quite what I'm doing.

What I'm is doing is trying to get you to stop saying these men are guilty of murder when they aren't. Thanks to the British Empire, they are innocent until proven guilty in a lawful court. The trial could determine that they killed this man lawfully as he was committing burglary or some other crime. It is quite wrong, as has been happening on this thread, to suddenly assume these men killed him unlawfully and are murderers. He could be the felon, not they.

Actually that is what you're doing.


And again, I point out calling them 'alleged' murderers.


Meanwhile the jogger was not tried in court of burglary, yet you keep insisting they had the right to chase after him and shoot him.




For transparency, due to the video of them actually shooting the man, yes, I say they are murderers. What kind of murder, who knows; accidental, murder without cause, with cause, pre-meditated, etc, etc.

Well he wouldn't have been tried had he only committed the burglary just before he was killed, would he?

And they don't have to wait for a court of law to find him guilty before they shoot him. They can shoot him straight away.

You can't say that.

1) They are innocent until proven guilty.

2) And, simply, you have no idea that they committed murder.

Blackleaf is funny. He says they were entitled to kill a man because they "thought he might be a burglar," but we can't call them murderers until it's definitively proven.

The difference is in the melanin count.

Yet you don't apply that thinking to the black man..... that he was not guilty of burglary!
So you have no proof that he was a burglar yet you assume he was because of his skin colour
That's why everyone in the forum except maybe walter knows you're a bloody racist!

Correct.

Seems like someone's finally starting to understand.

And it's not the person I expected it to have been.

Well, that and the fact that he proudly declares himself a racist on a regular basis.

What a load of nonsense.
