TheWhiteRaider Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 I was just saying what is court's definition of Self-Defence isn't punished. I also quoted the wrong post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jed Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 Cjais, sorry I took you wrong. No hard feelins. The law is something that should be dealt with by the government only. Anyone who does otherwise is a complete and utter fool. Now, TheWhiteRaider, you're right, the US does not charge you with murder if it is proven it was self defense. And, like Datheus, I strongly encourage that, even if (FatalStrike's Scenario 4) the man put himself in that position. The honest man who is trying to murder the cheating man always has the option of not killing him, so the situation wouldn't always suggest a murder. Now, I'm from the US, and I know all of our opinions are going to be different due to us all being in different countries. It might be easier if we got down who was from where. I know Cjais is from Finland, so the laws are different from country to country. So, just an idea, give what country you live in the next time you post, and as always, let's keep the debate friendly and sociable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out his sig: "Don't mess with Denmark, or Denmark will mess with you - Small country, Big attitude." (LoL!) I'm from Finland!. Thats is my location...below my avatar. (That's what I thought it was for anyways...but I guess I'm not accustomed to being such a wise-ass, that I'd choose something like: "Behind you!" or "2 steps ahead of you" ) Just thought I'd clear that up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted October 22, 2002 Author Share Posted October 22, 2002 Originally posted by Jedi220 I know Cjais is from Finland, so the laws are different from country to country. hehe, I was just going to remind him of that Luc, but it really doesn't matter that much... I mean, one scandinavian country is as good as the others no? Really, sometimes I wished in Finland, where there's nothing of this "jante law" stuff going on... But nevermind, I agree with you J220. Also, I have the same view as Datheus when it comes to the court judging "heart break crimes".... The law should stay out of that matter entirely, lest it becomes far worse.

FatalStrike Posted October 22, 2002 Share Posted October 22, 2002 Originally posted by Datheus Maybe, but it's not even a crime to sleep with a married person. So, he may have been doing something MORALLY wrong, but he never broke the law. He defended his own life. If he's getting life for defending himself, that's like saying he should get life for sleeping with a married woman. Now think about this. If you could go to jail for breaking someone's heart... how many years would you be in for? The husband shouldn't even flip out at the guy, he should be mad at his WIFE for doing such a thing. Self Defense should never be punished, I don't care the circumstances The law takes into account who provoked the incident. Going into a man's house and sleeping with his wife, means that you instigated the incedent which lead to the fatality. If you are sleeping with someones wife the crime scene has three people to look at. The wife, the husband, and you. Now of those three who is obviously not supposed to be there? Thus that person aggrevated the situation and caused the situation to take place. If you cause a bad situation, you can't later claim self defense. It's your fault that you were defending yourself in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
