Thread Name: BS: Stand Your Ground
Subject: RE: BS: Stand Your Ground
QUOTE If you carry a gun and some thug demands your wallet at knife point you have the right under Stand your ground to shoot him. But, would you? An eye for an eye means just that, no more, and a life for a wallet breaks that rule. /QUOTE
So you mean that "stand your ground" is about revenge (eye for an eye) not about self defence (where lethal force would be a proportionate defence against a lethal weapon)?
