We now return to our regularly scheduled PA Forums. Please let me (Hahnsoo1) know if something isn't working. The Holiday Forum will remain up until January 10, 2025.

who said he shouldn't be shot
You have to. Otherwise they're too chewy.
I meant if I showed up and the baby was dead, I'd still shoot him, even knowing the baby was dead
There are certain things that you don't get to walk away from
Where did this happen?
"87 times?"
"He resisted a lot."
those were the days
they are expected to be at least slightly well-versed in the way our justice system works
hint: no one person serves as judge, jury, and executioner
(unless he is judge dredd)
I don't care that the baby was a dick, no, that is not fucking right
Let me repeat.
Twelve people stood by while a man brutally murdered a tiny baby because collectively they couldnt or wouldnt take him down.
Fuck.
The home of the brave, indeed.
Yeah, sure.
Good job humanity.
Well, then let me reiterate that I am super glad that you are not a real police officer
Only if they suck at shooting.
It don't take more than 3 bullets to destroy the brain.
So yeah, maybe they shouldn't have shot him.
the onlookers were probably not too enthused about trying to stop a raving lunatic from kicking around a bloody bag of meat at that point
Baby skulls can take more trauma than you'd think, and I doubt he started with the curb-stomping. That's the sort of thing you build up to. The kid probably would have been retarded, but I'd rather be retarded than dead.
It was an elderly couple who saw the guy beating the baby. They tried to intervene but obviously there's only so much you can do against someone probably on drugs when you're like 80 years old.

80 year olds can still jump on the baby as if it were some kind of grenade
old people are pretty much done with life anyway
actually baby skulls are soft and not fully formed
do you understand how easy babies are to kill?
cause let me tell you
Your average baby gets smacked in the head a lot without any major trauma. Since their skulls are so soft, they're a lot harder to crack. You either have to rock them around so much that the brain gets screwed up from the twisting and turning and colliding, or you gotta smoosh it like a grape.
While a fully-reasoned person may be able to kill a baby without effort, a flailing dust-head might take a couple tries.
A lot to ask for someone to succeed, not a lot to ask for someone to try. You could survive the experience, a baby couldn't.
cool
but if I get there and someone is doing a mexican hat dance on a pile of hamburger? Yeah I'll probably call the cops and keep an eye on things until they get there
How?
Even if we accept this, justification after the fact is an exceedingly poor moral position.
what if they're doing the ridiculous russian dance thing? would you tackle them then?
shit
blood would be everywhere, all flinging off the soles of their boots
maybe a soccer-esque slide tackle would be in order
make sure to call them Pinocchio first
This kind of prison justice, I dont know how to feel about it.
How child molesters, rapists etc get treated worse by other inmates, who potentially are murderers, arsonists and all kinds of horrible shit.
Part of me thinks thats great. That these horrible people actually have a line, that killing/harming children is fucking crossing such line and oh boy you are gonna have a long stay in this prison asshole.
On the other hand, seems kind of a contradiction to the whole situation. Or something. Just appears like an almost false redemption on their part.
regardless, shooting that guy was wrong. for his suffering is over just as quick as the childs. that kind of crap you shouldnt get away with, and in some instances, getting shot dead by police is a form of escaping the law.
If he wouldn't have been shot, he would have had his room and board paid for thirty years or so, assuming he didn't get off on a technicality. You'll recover from getting beaten and sodomized a few times. You won't recover from being dead.
