The video posted at the blaze shows the ugly evil punk getting a slug in the head... Maybe this one demonstrates how a punk hits the ground?

This is a good example of why Americans need to be armed. There are packs of uneducated and viscous animals who roam the streets at night. I am very vigilant when I go out at night, always checking to see if there is a group of shady looking characters. The other night I saw a bunch of 'bums' congregating behind the liquor store, one was running around with a baseball bat. I avoided the situation entirely...

But we must defend ourselves. Some shmuck made a comment on the Blaze that the Bible doesn't permit killing a person who comes to rob you. I replied to this ignoramus that the Torah indeed permits us to kill a person who comes to rob us (at night and fear of our own life is warranted)... See Exodus 22:1-3 (Parsha Mishpatim) for this command granting us the obligation to protect ourselves and our property...

That couldn't happen in Chicago. .. guns are illegal.

If a thief is found burrowing his way into a house and he is struck dead [by the owner of the house], the one who killed him is not guilty of murder [since he killed out of self-defense]. [However,] if the sun shone upon [the thief], one who kills him *is* guilty of murder.

"If the sun shone upon [the thief]" - This is but a metaphor, meaning, "If it is as clear that the robber is at peace with the homeowner as it is clear that the sun brings peace to the world." That is, if it is clear that the robber will not kill even should homeowner stand before him to protect his property -- for instance, if a father is found trying to steal from his son -- in such a case... it *is* considered murder if the thief is killed."
(Shemot 22:1,2 and Rashi)

The Torah permits a person to act in self-defense when his life is endangered. He may even take the life of his adversary, if there is no other way to protect himself. When a robber is found burrowing into someone's apartment, it is assumed that the robber does not plan on allowing anything deter him from his plans. If he bumps into the homeowner, the thief will not think twice about doing away with him. For this reason, it is permitted to kill the thief on sight.

The Torah appears to limit this law to nighttime robbers. However, Rashi, based on the Gemara (Sanhedrin 72a) explains that this is not so. A would be robber/murderer may be killed in an act self-protection both by day and by night (Mechilta ad loc.). Rather, if it is "as clear as day" that the homeowner's life is *not* in danger, he may not slay the robber. The Torah's mention of day is to be understood as no more than an idiomatic expression.

We find numerous other instances in which Chazal teach that the words of a particular verse are not to be taken literally. Another prominent example of this concept, also appearing in this week's Parasha, is:

If a person smites another with a stone or a fist, and the person that is attacked does not die immediately but falls ill, if he [eventually] arises and walks outside leaning on his walking stick, the attacker is exonerated and is not judged to be a murderer. (That is to say, until the attacked party is healed, the attacker is taken into custody. If the attacked dies, the attacker *is* judged a murderer).

May all thugs meet the same fate as this stupid idiot who floundered on the ground like a little sissy.
