Again totally agree, it was more the acceptance of lethal force and how that is justified in the US.

Absolutely spot on mate.

I watched a thing once and in it was a Sheriff from Texas and they were talking about the death penalty in this instance, he said one of the most Texas but logical things I have heard. He said, as humans we live within a code of morals and values….they are our ticket into the club of society and it keeps that society a nice place to be. If however you forfeit your ticket by stepping outside the rules and boundaries of what we regard as normal human society then they reserve the right to do away with you…….you literally have no place in that club, why should they put up with you ?

Well I think it’s a two stage thing isn’t it mate ? Does he have a right to be there and act as a deterrent to protect his community ?…..Yes he does In that capacity does he have a right to self defence if he feels his life is in danger ?…..Yes he does I really don’t see any grey areas in that.

How so mate ?
-
I don’t think there is a definitive answer to that but if there was one then I’d say a mob with a proven track record of violence, robbery and destruction would definitely be reasonable to most logical minds.

America has become more European over the last 20 years in its politics and so it follows in its thinking imho The American Blair, Mr Obama pushed a massively European mindset imho.

Imho mate, if the community IS the home, then the self defence claim naturally and rightly follows. If it was his house, we wouldn’t be having this conversation and the bit I think we British find it hard to get our head around is that (I believe ) the very American thing that home and community are one and the same thing in some places in America. I personally quiet like that way of thinking.
-
That’s a great post. I suppose what I think you missed in it (and as I understand the case) was he was going to town to protect a shop?/business?/The Town? So your scenario of protecting the home extends to the the business and or his community. I don’t think we get that concept at all in Britain, I think that’s a very American thing to circle the wagons round your community. He wasn’t going into a town knowing it’s gets a bit naughty on a Saturday night armed and ready for what May come, he was going to his community to defend it from a pre meditated exceptional and k

The Last American Man is a good book that provides a little insight into the American historical mindset
-
I think Washington proves that point rather well, they did the experiment and the facts spoke for themselves ?
-
I don’t know but I get the impression that the phrase “public space” don’t mean much in some places in the US, it’s their community and they will defend it is the impression I get and an attitude I rather like to be honest brother.
-
Sorry mate, hadn’t scrolled down. I get that point totally but I think it’s a very British way of looking at it. I refer you to my answer above, guns and being able to defend yourself is as much part of America as Bangers and Mash to the British. Remember, it wasn’t that long ago in the span of time they were a new world, frontier country and I think that spirit still lingers in your average American.
-
I’d be interested to read your view for sure. I genuinely can’t see a thing wrong with any of it. I think gun ownership and the right to defend yourself with lethal force is just something ingrained in America.

Wasn’t me giving it big licks to the man because he said he was having aggro with the non starter weed heads next door was it.
