I have a question about premeditation.
OK, I'll pick on someone that I know.. let's say Tamara..
Say, someone breaks into her house, in the middle of the night, armed with a knife.. He tells her "I'm here to kill you." He raises the knife, gets 2 holes in the head from a P7.
OK, seems to me, pretty straight forward, and if you ask Tamara what she would do in a situation like that, she'd probably do something close, kill the SOB. Ask Oleg, Runt, Art, etc... and the answers come back consistant and generic. Shoot until the threat is no longer a threat.
Since we can presume this to be the answer; isn't that premeditation?
I ask this, as it stems from a discussion I had with a friend here in Taiwan; she said that those with guns pretty much have premeditated intent on murder in certain situations.
I'm hoping someone will tell me about premeditation, not just from a "legal" point of view, but a "moral" point of view..
Tamara, what's on your nightstand this week?
