Look Fris, if you were being shot at and you were cornered you would want a fucking gun and most likely something bigger and more intimidating as a form of defense, why must you always challenge the average citizen's ability to defend him/herself from harm? Is self-defense this much taboo to you?

Yeah I think the shooter was definitely in the wrong, and I do agree that the escort should've also known the risk she was taking by going into someone's house who was probably armed and running off with their money. Being an escort is to take part in a risky business, with clients who could potentially be very dangerous. She should've known better about what she was getting herself into.

If the girl was alive she should be arrested for robbery.

That's not my problem with his post. My problem is that he took a joke so seriously and honestly attempted to threadjack this into a gun control debate over a post on the first page.

Did you read ANYTHING that was posted in this thread past the OP?
I read EVERYTHING not anything. If she didn't give her services then she robbed him, not that it makes shooting her justified, but yet if she did had sex with him then she'd still would have committed a crime. Avoiding to doing something illegal doesn't justify commiting a different crime.

Then there should be no problem with admitting that I'm correct. Illegal contracts are by default, void. It is therefore NOT a legitimate contract. Therefore, if you give someone money WILLINGLY, DESPITE assuming they were fulfill a part of an illegal contract, they are under NO obligation to give BACK your payment, because the contract is void in the first place.
Giving someone money of your own free will when there is no legitimate contract stating they must provide a service means that you are giving that money to them as a GIFT, and they have every right to keep it.Des-Bal wrote:The goalposts are where they've always been you're running in the wrong direction.
Because I actually have a basic grasp of jurisprudence?

No, what I'm saying is that if you engage in an illegal contract and one of the parties breaks the contract, then courts cannot and should not be enforcing this contract in the first place. This means that legally she had every right to take money that was GIVEN to her. If SHE took it from HIS hands without his consent, then you'd have a better point.

God damn it, now it's in my head tooSeriously though. This just baffles. And backs up my low opinion of our supposed 'justice' system. Yes, this one is more blatant, but you see asshattery throughout and oft-discussed on this very forum. There has got to be a way to inject a touch of common sense (I know, I know, all too uncommon these days) into some of this. Into every aspect of our society, while we're at it.
Here's my REALLY REALLY BIG problem with this. Ignoring Texas' obscene law that makes it legal to use DEADLY FORCE to recover a hundred and fifty bucks, the underlying transaction itself was illegal. If he "gave her money" to have sex with him, he engaged in solicitation of prostitution. Since you can not, legally, give someone money in exchange for sex, what he did, legally, was give her money for nothing.
Which means he just GAVE her money.
Which means it wasn't STEALING anything.
