Cory Maye, another drug war victim
 

Summary of case:
young man living with his 2 year old daughter lives in a duplex. the other unit is rented by a pot dealer. Cops raid in the middle of the night, breaking into BOTH units. Cory Maye fears for his life and shoots the first cop that come into his bedroom. Kills cop. As soon as he hears them yell "police!" he drops his weapon and surrenders.

He's convicted and sentenced to death for this "crime". DEATH.

Whole rundown here:

So, apparently, if you are woken up in the middle of the night by men busting into your home, and you fear for you life and shoot one of them, and it turns out it's the just cops conducting a paramilitary raid on the WRONG address without warning and without your name even on a warrant, it is YOU who are guilty and must die for your crimes.

If you're not furious about the drug war yet, you're just ignorant.

PS: this the main reason I oppose the death penalty. Not that it's necessarily wrong to kill people who deserve to die but rather we are fools, fools to trust that the state will use this power wisely.

That's [censored] up.
Really messed up man.
I'm for certain gun controls, but if someone bursts into your bedroom without warning and you shoot the fjucker, its his damn fault, not yours.

Re: Cory Maye, another drug war victim
 

Hmmm. A secondary effect that is also tragic is that this can be used by the anti-gun nuts to show that gunowners are cop killers. What a [censored] affair....

Well, if there's a silver lining in this horrible story, at least the cop was killed.

So if they had burst into the wrong apartment after getting a lead to a mass murderer who lived next door, you would say "If you're not furious about the anti-murder war yet, you're just ignorant."?

Re: Cory Maye, another drug war victim
 

There are dozens of victims here. The cop, the guy, his daughter, his family, the cops family etc. All over a bogus war against the american people.

We are talking about a natural plant here, not someone breaking a commandment.

You are the worst agruer on the forum.

Because you find redemptive value in the loss of a human life. I cannot even begin to fathom your justification for this, so I'll chalk it up to simple stupidity, or a desire to say outrageous things in order to gain attention. Pathetic people do things like that all the time.

Are you saying that he deserved to die because of his mistake or because he was an officer? Either is despicable. If you're saying it was because of his mistake, then I hope you're placed in a similar situation one day and shown mercy so that you can actually realize how ignorant you are. If you're saying it's because he was a police officer (which I'll assume is the case, given your self-imposed "anarchocapitalist" title), then I can only hope that one day, an officer lays his life on the line to save someone that you care about.
