Selfdefense laws
After a incident today I just had not even half a hour ago where I may have had to invoke these laws to defend myself and my mother, I got thinking about something when I was reading the self-defense laws for Pennsylvania and the nation in general.
But my main problem is this. If a person defends themselves, then they are consider a monster by some, espcally if they kill the aggressor. But if the victim dies, they are a hero! Because god forbid we don't do everything ''civilly''.
Your thoughts?

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

Who cares? I'd kill to protect me and mine. You gotta stand up and be a man, buddy.
The law won't protect you, trust me. Especially if you're a minority.

The UK has made some baby steps recently to give more power to self defence, but I think it's an area of law where legislating is not really workable as there are so many nigh on indefinable variables to try to take into account.
An enemy that wishes to die for their country is the best sort to face - you both have the same aim in mind.

Re: Selfdefense laws
pff, just invite someone over, kill them, kick in your own door, scratch yourself with their nails, punch yourself with their fist, then claim self defense, that's why everyone claiming self defense should be tried for murder.
Also self defense doesn't work once the bullet is already in your head so you're not going to defend yourself against me anyway. It's a useless construct, if someone holds a knife to your throat, threaten to call the police, if you try to fight, your throat will get cut.
Preemptive strikes, now that should be allowed, if I walk through the city at night and some shady youths come along and I'm afraid, i should be allowed to gun them scary ****** down.
