Self Defense Is Wrong
In my opinion, I feel that self- defense killing is not wrong. For an example, if I’m home alone with my kids and someone breaks into my house to try to hurt me or my kids, as a mother my job is to protect my kids or die trying. No, I wouldn’t want to kill anybody because even though he/she is not innocent it’s still a human life that has to be taken. But I have to protect myself and my kids by any means, even if I have to kill someone. So no I do not think that killing someone in self-defense is wrong because the person that is trying to hurt you or a family member doesn't care if your life will be taken. So I’m not going to hesitate to kill them to protect myself and my family.
Yes, everyone should be given equal opportunities . I’ve notice

    A Victims Deliberate Use of Deadly Force

    The victim of domestic violence isn’t justified in using deadly force unless the person is committing an act of domestic violence on the victim right that moment. That statement brings me to my first contention, the life of each person involved in a domestic violence dispute are both important. If you are the victim of repeated domestic violence you shouldn’t use deadly force unless it’s in self defense. Murder in the first degree is any murder that is willful and premeditated and by killing the man or woman that committed the act of domestic violence you are indeed going to prison to be put on death row. Jodi Arias a young woman killed her boyfriend Travis Alexander and lied about it for two years in 2008. Then in 2010 she confessed to killing her boyfriend in self defense by shooting him once and stabbing him 27 times. Arias say Alexander attacked her, but police say she planned the attack in a jealous rage. Jodi said that that Travis often had violent outburst that resulted in domestic violence.…

    8th Amendment Bars Cruel And Unusual Punishment

    Killing someone for killing someone else is not an appropriate punishment. According to the Constitution the death penalty is uncivil. The Eighth Amendment bars cruel and unusual punishment. Several people say the death penalty is cruel. People that have family members killed are not usually wanting the other person killed, just locked up. In 2015, Dylann Roof opened fire in a church and killed nine people. Melvin…

    Justifiable Homicide In The Military

    If a citizen has a reasonable belief that their life is in danger, then in that case a homicide is justifiable. In the case of a justifiable homicide, a citizen’s reasoning for committing such an act is the same for a soldier, a duty that must be executed. A soldier's duty is to protect the people he is ordered to protect along with his fellow servicemen, and a civilian’s is to protect the lives of his family and himself. Whenever an armed criminal enters someone's home, they don't have time to reason with a dangerous thug, especially when lives are on the line. Thus, this power can only be considered justly used when it is used in a way that could save lives. In conclusion, justifiable homicide should be an element in society so that the average man can protect his family and so that the soldier can protect the average…

    Three robbers entered a Commerce City, Colo., residence, one of them pulled a knife, according to officials.

After the three fled, they called for medical help from a cousin's house. The police followed shortly thereafter. "As soon as they get out of the hospital, we'll be there to meet and greet them," said Sgt. Craig Coleman of the Adams County Sheriff's Dept. (rifleman)…

    Capital Punishment in Canada

    Murdering is violence in any circumstance. If we kill someone who killed another man then who will kill us? All religions agreed that God gives life to human and only God has the power to take it away. In many cases victim’s relatives want to take revenge but in a modern and civilized world there is no place to hostility. “Why kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong?” (The john Howard society of Ontario, March 2001, page 1).…

    A Weapon for Self Defense: Criminal Law and Procedure

    A Weapon for Self Defense: Criminal Law and Procedure

    From 2000 to 2010, more than 20 states passed laws that make it easier to use lethal force in self-defense. Elements of these laws include removing the duty to retreat in places outside of one’s home, adding a presumption of reasonable belief of imminent harm, and removing civil liability for those acting under the law. This paper examines whether aiding self-defense in this way deters crime or, alternatively, increases homicide. To do so, we apply a difference-in-differences research design by exploiting the within-state variation in law adoption. We find no evidence of deterrence; burglary, robbery, and aggravated assault are unaffected by the laws. On the other hand, we find that homicides are increased by around 8 percent, and that these homicides are largely classified by police as murder. This suggests that a primary consequence of strengthened self-defense law is a net increase in homicide. Finally, we present back-of-the-envelope calculations using evidence on the relative increase in reported justifiable homicide, along with assumptions about the degree and nature of underreporting, to assess whether the entire increase was legally justified.…
