Um, no, not without you first explaining what about it needs elaboration. I think it's pretty clear. -blackmind |

If I were burglarizing a guy's house and he came out of his bedroom to find me standing in his hallway with loot, and he points a gun at me, I AM NOT PROTECTED BY LAWS THAT ENTITLE ME TO SELF DEFENSE, since I am committing a crime! Police entering a house by force, when that house is NOT the one subject to the warrant, are committing a crime and therefore they should have no protection under self-defense laws if the occupant draws and/or fires on them. The same should hold true if they do have a warrant, but the reason for the warrant's issue is fraudulent. (My reasoning is, they will then be busting in on an innocent man who has little or no reason to think the cops will be a-callin', and he can be excused for the reasonable reaction of defending his life and home while thinking he is the victim of a home-invasion robbery.) The bottom line is that the police court disaster when they execute (pun?) no-knock warrants. In sports it's called "drawing the foul," is it not? They do something that is wrong, or very near the line, and cause a person to do something that then justifies killing him. That's just plain intolerably wrong. -blackmind |
