A joke? I am not laughing. Believe it.
I thought we were talking about morality. Killing is killing is killing is killing. I do not believe in the death penalty either, or any form of corporal punishment no matter how many of my loved ones get murdered or hurt by a "murderer". My 14-year-old cousin got murdered last night by a hit and run driver in front of his house. If my uncle, his father would have found the guy and murdered him, he would be a murdered and a cold blooded killer to me. I am not touching the police officer/military comment because I am sure I am going to talk myself into a hole. Rodney King ring a bell? No probable cause. How about the 15-year old African American who was beat to death on the south side of Chicago by a bunch of good ol' white cops because he was dating one of their daughters. Specific instances of course and definitely not wide spread.
mur·der ( P ) Pronunciation Key (mūrdr)
n.
The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.
I disagree with calling someone who kills a hero.
he·ro ( P ) Pronunciation Key (hīr)
n. pl. he·roes
In mythology and legend, a man, often of divine ancestry, who is endowed with great courage and strength, celebrated for his bold exploits, and favored by the gods.
A person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life.
The analogy has suddenly changed and now this particular 15-year old has a knife and he's stabbing me, too. If I had a gun, I wouldn't use it. Maybe that answers your question.
You know its not the case with Pit Bulls? Firstly, let's make sure that we both know that there is NO SUCH breed as a Pit Bull. Secondly, sorry if this sound rude, but there is NO WAY that you know every Bull Terrier in the world. Studies have been conducted and there is no "short" in the brain of a Bull Terrier and violence and aggression are not widespread within any breed. There are "crazy" dogs of all breeds and just because some are larger, they should not be discriminated against in my opinion. Stewie comes again and again when I tap his nose when he is biting me. Because of his temperment should every Yorkie be banned in Chicago? NOPE! Owners should be more respectful of others and keep a closer eye on those specific dogs and warn others about their behavior.
I'm sorry about the incident with your Poodle, but I don't think it is a good universal example of all Boxers or all dog owners and the way they act.
Violence is accepted too often in America and it saddens me.
