chadstrickland, I think you are missing the point whether by choice or otherwise. This isn't a diatribe on society's ills or perceived wrongs. It's about the legality of one's actions. Has nothing to do with being in your words 'an illiterate redneck'. Or anything else really. Simply stated, you cannot walk up to an unarmed, incapacitated human being and murder them. I agree force must be met with force, up to the point where force is no longer NECESSARY because the fight is over.
