Recently Rendell vetoed the Castle Doctrine in Pa.
Stating that in a civilized society voilent and potentially deadly confrontations should not be encouraged. And that this could be
opening the doors for a shoot first ask second mentality.
As I understand it and please correct me if I'm not seeing this
clearly the difference between existing law and the new bill deals
mainly with using safe retreat when possible outside the home or
workplace.
Here's where I'd like to get some feedback; do we truly exist in a
civilized society?
Doesn't the fact that there is even discussion on "safe retreat when
possible" negate the ideology of a civilized society.
Do I think we are more civilized than we were 100 yrs ago, yes.
Do I think we are a full blown civilized society, absolutely not.
Do I think we should strive to become a full blown civilized society, I'm not so sure.
And until we become one how else is one to defend themselves.
"Bullying" exists because we allow it.
Your opinions please.
