Hi Vexcalibur,

By definition, murder can't be legal. Murder is illegal homicide. All places have situations in which it is legal to commit homicide. I guess Florida just added new ones and you don't agree with the change, but some context is needed.

I am not sure what is the point you are trying to make with that double quote (or if there is a point at all). But I suspect you are being incapable of correctly understanding my post made in the other thread and somehow buy it as an endorsement or some lame idea. I was just saying, when killing people is legal, it is not murder, that does not necessarily mean I'd agree that it is an ethical homicide. In fact, I was criticizing the concept.
Hi Vexcalibur,
Besides the many recent & ongoing Florida court cases, the booklet at "See the SelectedWorks of Elizabeth B. Megale, April 2010"
"Making Murder Legal: How Laws Expanding Self-Defense Allow Criminals to 'Get Away with Murder'":
http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=c ... +Torres%22
includes the ending paragraph in the summary:
"Legislatures throughout the United States should heed the silent message from
the Florida courts: these statutes should not be followed. In enacting the 2005 laws, the
Florida legislature created protection for both criminal and legitimate self-defense acts.
The prior statutes protected only legitimate self-defense acts, the legitimacy of which
was determined by a jury. Now, the actual effect of Stand Your Ground, Castle
Doctrine, and Immunity working together is to allow criminals to get away with murder. "
