Youtube making this "offensive" and requires extra steps to view....

There are myriad Hitler parodies of various persons.... Hitler going nuts applied to different celebrities, politicians and sports figures. Never designated offensive and inappropriate.... David Hogg -- designated offensive and inappropriate. Can't have the poster boy for "making the powerful shake" LOL being parodied! No! The cause is too important.

I bet there was a million people at the March for Our Lives.... oh, wait, only 200,000... still let's cover it every day, 24-7 and pretend it is the biggest movement since the 60s. The teens, they're rising up! https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/20 ... -size-400/ and http://dailycaller.com/2018/03/26/nbc-m ... orrection/

I bet Hogg's right! I bet the 18-21 year old, first time voter, turnout at the midterm elections is going to be way higher than its normal 18%, because sooooo many first time voters have had "Enough." Let's see! Can't wait. I bet the turnout will go up to 19%. Massive.

He's at least 17. Possibly 18. Age info is vague.

If you want to jump into the spotlight, and point fingers calling gun owners "pro-murder" you might be old enough to get some push-back.

I think if you insert yourself into a political debate via activism, you are fair game. I'm torn on this issue, possibly because that's a really good parody.. :mrgreen:

If you think lethal force is defensible in cases of trespass or auto theft you probably should stop using the oxygen nice people might need .

Actually I think the gun lobby are so fucking dumb they would try to replace the fire service with a militia so they could shoot the shit out of the fires .

Err.... wut?

It's not legal in the US to shoot someone who is stealing your car, unless of course they're in the middle of carjacking you, which can sometimes result in the death of the victim. I.e., if you walk out of the store and see someone about to drive off in your Toyota, you can't shoot them. But, if you're in the Toyota, and someone starts trying to get into your car and they're armed, then you probably can.

It's o.k. to shoot someone burgling into your house at night.

What's not to understand? I've got little kids and a wife here. If someone comes into the house at night surreptitiously, I shouldn't have to give them an interview to find out if they mean well.

Wouldn't you be able to shoot at someone who is stealing your car off your driveway in states like Texas?

In a limited set of circumstances, yes, but Texas is rather atypical in this regard. Using your example, if the theif is engaged in this theft at nighttime, and you own the property, and you would be justified in using any non-deadly force at the time, and you reasonably believe the deadly force is necessary to prevent the nighttime theft, or to stop a person who is immediately fleeing the scene, and the property cannot be protected by any other reasonable means, or the use of force other than deadly force would expose you to a risk of death or serious bodily injury.

They have a statute on the topic.

Not a big fan of it, but if a criminal is out there burgling at night, then I think it might not be a bad thing to put him at risk. What possible innocent motive can someone have for going onto someone else's property at night and either burgling their house, or stealing cars?
