Is the US insane?

A man’s home is his castle, except in Maryland. Man shoots intruder at 2am, gets charged with murder

US Air Force Tech Sgt. Matt Pinkerton shot an intruder in his home on September 13th just before 2am.

That is not in question.

Yet somehow, in Maryland, where Castle Doctrine does not exist by statute but rather only by case law, Sgt. Pinkerton is being charged with 2nd degree murder.

The intruder, Kendall Green, had reportedly been harassing Matt’s wife, Jessica. Green had been a friend who helped Jessica when her brother was in a coma after being involved in a accident while Matt was overseas.

All evidence points to Jessica only maintaining a friendship with Green yet when he pushed for more she ended the friendship completely.

Details matter.

Under what specific circumstances, did this shooting occur?

Probably only if you are black. Example: white teenager walks down the street with a loaded rifle. Someone sees him, calls 911. Cop stops him, demands to see ID. Kid refuses to show him the ID. Cop cites him for disorderly conduct, white kid walks on with loaded rifle. Black guy in Walmart picks up a toy gun. Someone sees him, calls 911. Cops converge on black guy, order him to drop the gun. Black guy yells back that it is just a toy. Cops shoot black guy dead.

This is untrue on so many levels. As a white person, I can tell you that I honestly believe police target lower income areas or 'the poor', and not blacks... My proof is in how many times I've been pulled over, day or night for no good reason driving a rusty old toyota corolla verses driving a brand new SUV. It's like night and day. It's like 25 to 0. Unbelievable difference.

...In the mind of a profiler, poor = troubled. Wealthy = follows rules.

...What needs to end, is "Proactive Policing". They should return to the old method of responding to emergency phone calls and end the proactive policing method... But this is off topic.

Uh, that case got thrown out. And it was apparently much more complicated than your article describes it. Green was having an affair with Pinkerton's wife. You can't just kill a guy for that.

But the problem comes when the prosecutors and courts almost NEVER buy a "self defense" argument. That happens ALL THE TIME here in the Peoples' Republic.

And you want to blame the Qur'an? Where does the Qur'an say anything about suicide bombing?

http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/pages/quran/violence.aspx

I don't solely blame the Quran, but the heart of the evil men who commit violence. The Quran does contain much in justifying violence, especially against unbelievers.

Some say the father of suicide bombing is Taqi al-din Ahmad Ibn Taymiya...

"Many jihadists cite the works of Taqi al-din Ahmad Ibn Taymiya (1263-1328), an Islamic scholar born in Harran, in modern-day Turkey, who wrote extensively on the need for jihad and exalted it even above the Islamic obligations of fasting and pilgrimage (hajj).[66] He attacked many practices prevalent among Muslims of his time and favored a literal interpretation of the Qur'an. Modern jihadists have used his fatwas commanding Muslims to fight the Mongols as precedents legitimizing suicide bombing."

[Landon Caeli]

"Ibn Taymiyyah declared that jihad against the Mongol attack on the Malmuk sultanate was not only permissible, but obligatory.[35] The reason being that the Mongols could not, in his opinion, be true Muslims despite the fact that they had converted to Sunni Islam because they ruled using what he considered 'man-made laws' (their traditional Yassa code) rather than Islamic law or Sharia, whilst believing that the Yassa code was better than the Sharia law. Because of this, he reasoned they were living in a state of jahiliyyah, or pre-Islamic pagan ignorance.[12] The fatwa broke new Islamic legal ground because "no jurist had ever before issued a general authorization for the use of lethal force against Muslims in battle," and was to influence modern Islamists in the use of violence against self-proclaimed Muslims.[53]

Ibn Taymiyyah called on the Muslims to Jihad once again and he also personally joined the eventual battle of Marj al-Saffar against the Mongol army.[21][50] The battle began on 20 April of that year.[50] On the same day, Ibn Taymiyyah declared a fatwa which exempted Mamluk soldiers from the fast during the month of Ramadan so that they could maintain their strength.[21][24][50] Within two days the Mongols were severely defeated and the battle was won."

...What a crying shame that the Mongols lost. It formed our world today in such a negative way.

All the polls and Media hacks assume absolutely that our economic strangling of nations like Iraq and our invasions and annihilates of them never lead to acts of self-defense and revenge on their part.

IT’S ABSOLUTELY INSANE. THEY KEEP ATTACKING MUSLIMS MORE AND MORE IN VASTLY MURDEROUS WAYS AND THEY KEEP BEING SHOCKED THAT A FEW MUSLIMS COUNTERATTACK THEM AND US, SO THEY DO MORE OF THE SAME AND WE GET A FEW MORE DESPERATE ATTACKS BY SUICIDE BOMBERS.

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST INSANE THINGS I’VE EVER SEEN, BUT THEY KEEP PRETENDING THAT ONLY TOTALLY EVIL AND INSANE PEOPLE COUNTERATTACK YOU WHEN YOU FIRST ATTACK AND KILL AND WOUND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THEM.

The truth is that it’s incredible they have not yet figured out how to kill masses of us.

You are confused.

America is siding with some Muslims, ie. the legitimate government of Iraq, and opposing others.

...Never knew Ghengis Kahn was a Sunni though. Makes sense really.

...Makes sense too why religion in many Asian countries is supressed so heavily too.

(sorry, I'm thinking out loud)

In cases of a love triangle like this I would be reluctant to accept the self-defense argument as well.

Have to resort to a hate-blog I see. Which means you know nothing the context of any of those verses, not a single one of which addresses the issue of suicide bombing. I didn't ask for where the Qur'an calls for a just war, which is something entirely different.

Sorry, calling for a jihad is not the same as suicide bombing.

Try again.

"Ibn Taymiyyah declared that jihad against the Mongol attack on the Malmuk sultanate was not only permissible, but obligatory.[35]

That's interesting given the act that Mamluk repulsed the Mongols at the Battle of Armageddon (which is a real place) in 1260 A.D. and Ibn Taymiyyah wasn't born until thre years later.

The reason being that the Mongols could not, in his opinion, be true Muslims despite the fact that they had converted to Sunni Islam because they ruled using what he considered 'man-made laws' (their traditional Yassa code) rather than Islamic law or Sharia, whilst believing that the Yassa code was better than the Sharia law.

They hadn't converted to Islam at the time they fought to Mamlukes. In fact, they had just destroyed the Caliphate in Baghdad.

...What a crying shame that the Mongols lost. It formed our world today in such a negative way.

So you are talking about a battle some fifty years later which they also lost. You realize that, whatever Ibn Taymiyyah may have thought, by this time the Mongols had converted to Islam some eight years earlier? If the Mongols had won they would have overrun Egypt and North Africa, perhaps leading to the conquest of Spain and the rest of Europe. The Mamlukes were the only people ever to defeat the Mongols on the field of battle. The brutality we see in the Middle East today as well as Russia, is largely the legacy of the Mongols, not Islam.

 

[smaneck]

...Never knew Ghengis Kahn was a Sunni though. Makes sense really.

He most definitely wasn't. The Mongols in the Middle East don't begin converting to Islam until 1295, some forty years after they destroy the Caliphate. Genghiz Khan dies in 1227. Eastern Mongols mostly converted to Tibetan Buddhism.

?? " .... legitimate government of Iraq" ?? Oh! You must mean the government we installed after we destroyed their country for no legitimate reason whatsoever.

Hmmm .... I'm wondering why you didn't cite Saudi Arabia or the Egyptian junta ....

No, I'm not really wondering.

So let's pretend it's the OT and Muslims learned how to make gunpowder and very explosive bombs and were suicide bombing innocent Jews, women and children and the like....what do you think God would tell the Jews to do? What did God have the Jews do in the OT when they faced various enemies?

Whoaa, there! Did you forget which country bragged they bombed which country "back to the stone age"?

It's the US that committed the "ultimate war crime" in its invasion of Iraq.

Not to mention all the rest of the history going back to the crusades.

And remember, it was God who dispersed the Jews as punishment for their unfaithfulness.

My mistake. It wasn't Genghis Khan, it was Ghazan Khan who was a Sunni Muslim.
