Steophan is still a big fan of murderous scumbags in this thread: > [@Arbery Shooting in Georgia and Citizen's Arrest \[& similar shootings\]](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/arbery-shooting-in-georgia-and-citizens-arrest/853815/1): > > I’m trying to understand this case and make sure that I’ve gotten it right before I join with the pitchfork carrying crowd. Everything online is either filled with vitriol or otherwise biased. Here is the GA law on citizen’s arrest. Further, the law is clear that if the two men were privileged to make an arrest, and Arbury fought back and tried to grab their guns, it would be an act of self defense for the men to shoot him. So, what exactly happened here? There was a video that showed him s… And just as a fun reminder, here’s the post where he praises a convicted child-murderer, Michael Dunn, who killed an unarmed teen in his car and then shot at the other kids in the car while they were fleeing, as (these are Steophan’s exact words) “the sort of people normal people want around them” who were just “trying to improve their lives and those of the people around them”. Despite later saying Dunn was wrong to shoot at the fleeing kids, he has still never repudiated these words of praise for convicted child-murderer Dunn, seemingly trying to pretend again and again that he never said them. > [@Controversial encounters between law-enforcement and civilians - the omnibus thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/controversial-encounters-between-law-enforcement-and-civilians-the-omnibus-thread/700942/12451): > > Yeah, I thought you wouldn’t answer a straight question. Also, I don’t for a moment think that, we’re you in Dunn’s position, you wouldn’t have been scared. Frankly, you’d probably have been to scared to tell them to turn the music down, most people would be. Whether that would amount to imminent fear of attack is another matter, but the idea that it’s inconceivable that he could have been that scared is ridiculous. People like Zimmerman, who was trying to prevent further burglaries in his ne… ---

No, I’m a fan of the law being applied correctly, which means that Rittenhouse and Zimmerman are not murderous anythings. As I’ve said repeatedly in that thread though, despite your disingenuity in only linking to the OP, Arbery’s murderers were shown to not have been defending themselves but instead were attempting to assault and kidnap Arbery before they killed him. Nuance, something you should try sometime instead of getting upset every time a thug like the idiots that attacked Rittenhouse get what they deserve. You remain a liar, a hypocrite, and a person with no coherent moral code. You want people to live in fear of criminals, by not only wanting to prevent them from protecting themselves but also by preventing the police from protecting them. You are the reason it is so hard to vote for anything resembling even centre-left policies that might benefit people including myself, because it means putting myself at unacceptable risk. You are a dangerous, unprincipled and unethical person. ---

You want people to live in fear, period. Not just of criminals, but of everyone and everything. I’ll bet you even think your god is something to be feared. ---
