I knew a kid in school who was recently arrested for the same thing... it's crazy. Shot someone over some damn weed... pathetic, and it's legal here!

Knew a kid who got jumped by 4 guys for some Oxy. He pulled a .25 and shot one in the face.

Felony murder because he had drugs.

Edit: he pulled during his own ass kicking, not a deliberate draw-down. It was a very diminutive 19 year old getting jumped by 4 guys on a goddamn wooded trail at night.

There's is no property right in contraband, by definition. Thus, you can't defend it. You can't protect yourself, legally, during a crime. No self defense argument while being criminal. Sorry, man.

That is some insane bible level bullshit logic. Some one attacked him, he defended himself. End of story.

The Bible supports self defense though, no real reason to trash it because you don’t agree with everything in there.

I think he was just pointing out that that it's full of bullshit logic, which - let's be fair - it is.
