Glenn Beck on recent shootings

He's talking now about a responsible gun owner who caught 4 worthless SOB's who killed his dog for fun and he chased them down and held them at gunpoint without firing a shot until cops came. No wild west gunfight just a responsible citizen protecting whats his. This is one of Glenns best episodes yet, we need more of this kind of media in light of recent events.;)
 
I wasn't even aware the Germans did a pre-war stimulus package. Kinda scary taken in context with our current situation. X

Maybe he was in fear of his life as they were killing his dogs. However, I'm still not sure if he was justified in chasing them down or would have been justified in shooting them if they had attacked him when he was chasing them, morally if not legally.
 
I was just logging on to discuss this!

Wanted: Michael Edmonds

SOB is being nice.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO? I'm mortified at the idea some psycho coming and hurting my baby girl (German Shorthair Pointer-4 yrs old).

I'm still not sure if he was justified in chasing them down or would have been justified in shooting them if they had attacked him when he was chasing them, morally if not legally.

Personally, I'm amazed he didn't kill them. I'm not sure I would have restraint if someone killed my family member. Morally how are you not justified? THEY KILLED HIS DOG!!!

That "responsible gun owner" is Navy Seal Marcus Luttrell.

He showed significantly more restraint that I would have.

Based on how it went down (according to Beck), he'd have been justified in killing all four of them right there in his yard. Armed punks skulking around at 1am, murdering pets ... I seriously doubt the DA would have done anything but pin yet another medal on him.
 
Ever have your dog shot by punks that just laughed an then said they would kill you next.....He did what alot of us would want to do, except he didn't shoot. Lets blame the punks...hope they get lots of jail time for killing this Hero's dog. The sole survivor of his Navy Seal team, God Bless him.
 
I listened to it on the way home from work (XM of course). The Seal was a lone survivor of his team in Iraq. I agree the individuals who shot his dog should go to prison, but I think he risked a lot in chasing them through 4 counties. He's lucky he is in TX. I don't think his conduct would fly north of the Mason-Dixon line. He is still more responsible than the idiots who shot his dog, but I don't think I would have chased them down.
 
My bet is those punks will keep an eye over their shoulder for a while if they get out especially if they know who they have PO'ed maybe they should read his book in jail. Luttrel is probably hoping they come back and look him up.
Anybody out randomly killing dogs for the fun of it falls way low on my human list, if it happened to mine there would be a debt to pay.

I can't believe just how stupid those frickin punks are. Telling him (Luttrell) they are going to kill him. Maybe they'll find out he's a SEAL and rethink that.

My sig line says it all...

Chased them down? I'd have chased them to the ends of the earth,then slowly, very slowly peeled every inch of skin from their bodies like my NVA friends taught me.

Wow,
Luttrell and his four man team killed 200-300 Taliban deep in their own territory. Not only did he lose everyone on his team, but eight more seals and a Chinook aircrew all were killed trying to rescue him, and those kids kill his dog. He's more a man than I am. My give-a-crap meter would have just about been pegged there and I'd probably be sitting in a cell in his situation. Those kids best thank their lucky stars that Mr. Luttrell is the man he is, not that they would appreciate that. Part of the reason all those soldiers are dead is Luttrell and his team decided not to kill three civilians they had captured, and when released they ran straight to the Taliban. What a kick in the gut.

I believe this is referred to as a "comprehensive failure of the victim selection process".

Dear Lord. Could you pick a worse target?

A dog is an animal. nothing more. It has no more of a soul than a squirrel or a deer.

It would be illegal to shoot someone who has killed your dog in a way that does not threaten you or your family personally.

I'm what's considered trigger happy but I know when to pull that trigger and when not to.

No dog is worth standing in front of a Grand Jury over.

addendum::::

Okay I read the story. Personally I would have shot them right then and there. Not because they killed my dog but because they had a gun and used it and I would have felt "correctly" they would use it on me.

Oh yea, that is right.....only the police have the right to detain wrongdoers. ?????
 
Oh Ned, where to start. I'll try to speak slow for you.

Wow! Really! Last I checked your name wasn't God. Your comment is heartless, and lame. So if you shoot and killed a cop's k9 you think you wouldn't be killing his partner who is treated as a HUMAN, and going away for life. What's wrong with you?:barf::barf::barf::barf::barf::barf::barf::barf::barf::barf:

And you continue to make us on this board look good. :banghead:

You should have read it first before opening your mouth.

I think that statement speaks to the the gist of the discussion. You have a right to make that decision, and if what you would risk by doing so is too high a price for you personally, then obviously you have made the right decision for you.

All rational citizens have certain possessions (be it physical, monetarial, spiritual, emotional) that we do not wish to risk the loss thereof. On the other hand, there are certain boundaries that we do not allow others to cross because that crossing will threaten what is near and dear to us. Trying to stay within a reasonable framework of society, I will not let someone else define for me what I regard as precious and necessary. Neither will I try to define for others what they choose to value and protect - unless their choices conflict with mine.

None of us will live forever; we are only give limited choices of how are small slice of life will be used. We all live and tolerate a certain amount of societal slavery - ie income taxes, property taxes, legal constraints, and on and on. At what point we choose to say enough; I must resist! That moment of decision defines each of us a man. For one moment of his life, this man revealed a portion of what his borders are.

I would not respond very kindly to anyone attacking my family dog. On the other hand, the wife's cats.....................................I'll need to some time to think about that. OK, I've thought about it - just don't leave any evidence of their demise!
 
My pets are family members.

Unfortunately, someone "simply" killing your pet is rarely sufficient legal grounds to kill them. You may feel that they're family, but (with exceptions depending on state law which may or may not allow you to use lethal force to defend property) you cannot kill a human to save the life of a dog.

Now, when an armed person confronts you AND your dog and shoots you probably can make a strong case that you were in fear of your life. Whole different ball game.

Shooting a K9 police dog is treated as a very special situation in most places, and is not relevant to this discussion.

Whether or not the being(s) being killed posess -- or do not posess -- a "soul" does not enter into the discussion either. God won't take the stand in your defense.
