Scenario - Hot Dog

Ha!

As Texas still uses the common-law "night season" designations for some things, you may run across my favorite crime:

Hamsoaking- The breaking and entering of the dwelling house of another with intent to commit a felony within during the day season.

I'm a geek for obscure laws, if y'all have not figured that out by now.:D
 
A good one

This has been. Solutions have gone the gambit from shooting the guy, shooting the dog, doing nothing, and variations of everything in between. One thing for sure. If you decide to shoot anything based on your heart or your emotions you should remember one thing. After the shooting everyone who has any authority will be making decisions on your future based solely on the law and their brain. However sympathetic they may be the end result will not be based on emotions or feelings of the heart. Whether it can be used successfully as a defense is unpredictable.
 
Dang! I forgot to load the Viagra into my restart-civilization kit! I knew I was forgetting something... Good thing I've got this vampire-slaying kit, though! Too many close calls!
 
Cooking lobsters and crawfish is for food. Torching dogs is just to be a sick cruel ^%*&#.

Again, it depends on one's perspective . The PETA folks will make a really good argument that tossing a live lobster or crawfish into boiling water is also a sick cruel ^%*&#. They will make the argument that wearing leather or fur is a sick cruel ^%*&#. I would make the argument that skinning a cat alive and then tossing it into boiling water for food is pretty bad, but that is done in some countries. Live monkeys have their skulls split open so one can eat the brains at festivals in some areas. So what constitutes a sick cruel ^%*&# really is a very flexible and shifting concept.

No kidding. That lobster would probably jump into the boiling water rather than follow the calves through the castration shoots......
 
OK. I've been lurking for a month and this is my first post.

Obviously, since I am this late posting, I have had the benift of seeing the intentions of the original post.

When I went through the US Air Force Security Police Acadamy ('83) one of the things we were told (with emphasis added)is:
Deadly force is the force that "...a Reasonable person Should know Could cause fatal or serious injury..."

That means attacking someone using a baseball bat, steel pipe, maybe a heavy chain as a weapon, that object could reasonably be construed as a deadly weapon.

I always thought a fair fight was one that I walked away from.

I have seen many fires that have caused a great deal of damage. I have fought a few fires.

Were I in that situation, if I had the ability, to "Sound the alarm", call for help, I would. I would stay, confront the individual, and I believe if we were about to start a fire, I would shoot him. (No lady would be such an instigator.)

I did, on one occasion, stop and extinguish a fire set by someone on the side of a road. At the time I had no cell phone and no weapon. I did get a discription of the vehicle, a partial tag number, and did report it to a police officer.

Ya'll have a Safe weekend.

One thing about the fire per se. Except for our current deluge (which may wash out this Sunday's matches :mad: - hope to have seen you Greg), a fire on a dog in the dry country can start significant grass fire. Some friends of mine hired some guys to weld on a metal building out by Rock Springs. The geniuses started a large fire that was heading for several houses across quite a few acres before it was stopped.

I will share that I eat living oysters and clams. In the trade, it's called facism. People are reluctant to eat things if the face resembles ours or has the cutism metric (a configuration of big eyes, etc.)
 
The OP said 'it's the dry time in Texas' and that the dog is tied to a tree.

But what if it's the only tree (or anything for that matter) in a wash or salt flat? Where's the justifications for preventing arson now?

Burning one tree + one stray dog = summary execution?

That's some pretty scary math a lot of people are advocating here.

Crypto-sociopaths are sociopaths who only operate under the guise of social acceptable behavior. 'Compensated psycopaths' is the more common term.

The higher-functioning morally deficient killers among us can be patient in waiting for a legally, and socially, acceptable excuse to kill or maim. The less restrained ones are called mass/serial killers.

That's all the more reason why CP's are likely to always be carrying a lethal weapon with them...so as not to miss that opportunity to kill and get away with it when the opportunity presents itself. :)
 
NBK, says, "Burning one tree + one stray dog = summary execution?

You are the only one who decided on that number, but attribute it to "a lot of people". <------- DEMOCRAT ALERT!!:barf:
 
Until one is a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist and does a full workup on an individual, claming that many gunowners are sociopaths based on internet chat isn't really respectable.
 
In a thread with about two dozen different people responding, having half of them responding with affirmatives for lethal force, constitutes 'a lot'.

And where did I say most gunowners are sociopaths?

But when crypto-sociopaths are looking to murder a human being using their phallic prosthetic, citing 'arson' or 'animal cruelty' as justification, than you know what's wrong with a lot of gun owners.

Most sociopaths own guns, so a lot of gun owners are sociopaths, which is what's wrong with them in the first place...their diseased mental state, not the weapons they own. If there were no guns, they'd own swords and spears instead.

If I had said '...what's wrong with a lot of TV owners.', would you have spoken up to defend TV owners?

With 50 million gun owners, and at least 2% of the total US population being sociopaths, and most sociopaths owning weapons, do the math.

That's 'a lot'.
 
Not to hijack, but kGPCR what do you have against Pit Bulls that would move you to allow one to be tortured to death? I hate to hear someone say they would help a madman kill something simply because of what breed it is, kinda like saying you wouldn't defend someone because they're Mexican and you had a bad experience with Mexicans. It especially disappoints me to hear something like that from a member of this forum.

Back on topic, I seriously do not think the situation merits lethal force. Trying to justify it with Arson most likely wouldn't holp up in court if you killed the SOB. However, like I said previously, I would give him a face full of pepper spray to think about whilst I absconded with his would be victim.
 
You did advocate whomping the screwball with a big ol' wrench, Biker. Even if you know a thing or three about inflicting non-lethal injuries with it, most areas would consider that to be lethal force.
 
300 million americans is the number I'm thinking of, though you could deduct 20 million to account for the illegals.

...it's not their rules I'm worried about - they're mine...the rules, that is.

Psychologist Robert Hare, in his classic book Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us (1993), states:

Psychopaths are social predators who charm, manipulate, and ruthlessly plow their way through life, leaving a broad trail of broken hearts, shattered expectations, and empty wallets. Completely lacking in conscience and in feelings for others, they selfishly take what they want and do as they please, violating social norms and expectations without the slightest sense of guilt or regret.

BTW, oldironman, I'm neither democrat nor republican, as the whole voting system is a farce to keep the proletariat thinking they still have a say, when in fact they don't.

LOL! Good point. I guess it really does display a certain level of something (not sure what) to cut the testicles off an animal (and maybe eat them now--gotta love them mountain oysters!) just so it will be more tender when you kill it to eat a year from now.

So, do we shoot welders these days? I think that was my point on the "intent to commit arson" issue earlier. Does torchman intend to engage in cruelty to animals? Or does he intend to engage in an arson? If the answer to the second is "no", is there any legal justification for deadly force?
