From all that time spent looking at your pretty face in the mirror?

These days conservatives are wrong on just about every count. Driven out of fear of Islam, blacks, Mexicans, gays, repealing the 2nd amendment, Obama coming to get their guns, gang members invading the burbs and whatever else your leadership can dredge up to make your hair stand on end.

The latest Mosque thing is just another example.

So much for our "nation of laws." Vigilante "a$$ clowns" who think taking the law into their own hands is the right thing to do, and you support 'em.

Too many blows to the head. Maybe you should avoid the scrum.

"Apparently this old man decided to stand "his ground" against these punks, and I'm glad he did."

"Save your bleeding heart for the dead punk. Maybe you can go sing Kumbaya over his grave..."

"Huh? What should we do with the 10 yr old darling, Wait till he finally kills someone? Sure let the old man shoot him and metal theft will go down 40%. All it cost was a 50 cent bullet. Less than one jail lunch"

"No, the 20 year old thieving punk got what he deserved. Get it right. The intelligence level is really lacking with all of the "criminal's rights" advocates in here."

"Why?? He shot a punk stealing his stuff and trying to run him down while escaping. Vermin eradicated, Problem solved. No need to take steel when we will give you lead for free!! Adios dirtbag"

"A few years ago I most likely would have thought shooting someone over some pipe was extreme. Today with the economy the way it is, and all the vandalism and theft and other crimes, my way of thinking is changing. We have given too many rights to those who commit crimes, as victims we are not allowed to do anything. "

"This story is awesome. The young thief was completely outfoxed by the old guy. The old guy probably blocked his private road with his body, the kid probably drove at him and enabled the old guy to shoot at him, and then when kid came back the other way the guy blocked the road again and again the kid didn't stop. Sounds to me like the guy had every RIGHT to shoot the idiot in self-defense. Yeah Morgan had the opportunity to let the kid live. But frankly the kid gave all the power to him in that situation, of his own volition. Probably the most Darwinian thing I've read all week."

"Dumb kid broke the law and got killed, wish there were more like this."

"It is about time a little good old fashioned justice came back around!! Good job to the homeowner!! It's about time the methheads out there think twice about taking stuff that doesn't belong to them."

"lets hope that the message is "Steal, get caught, and chances are you're gonna get shot"
Then maybe the little bad boys and girls will decide to earn their money in a legal way."

You can thank the NRA and gun manufacturers and skanky politicians for the massive proliferation of handguns and their easy availability. They've been designed and marketed to sell in urban areas at cheap prices. The gun manufacturers are happy to supply cheap weapons at big volume.

You go ahead and be fooled by the crafty old geezer who killed that kid.

He doesn't fool me.

Sorry, you think the prison system and parole system are loaded with liberals?

How'd you come up with that, genius?

Washington State has not adopted a specific Castle Docrtine, as you stated it had. The law is specifically:

RCW 9A.16.050Homicide — By other person — When justifiable. Homicide is also justifiable when committed either:

(1) In the lawful defense of the slayer, or his or her husband, wife, parent, child, brother, or sister, or of any other person in his presence or company, when there is reasonable ground to apprehend a design on the part of the person slain to commit a felony or to do some great personal injury to the slayer or to any such person, and there is imminent danger of such design being accomplished; or (2) In the actual resistance of an attempt to commit a felony upon the slayer, in his presence, or upon or in a dwelling, or other place of abode, in which he is.

Hey genius, the reason it's called the "castle doctrine" is that it applies to inside the home.

"Generally, the “castle doctrine” provides that someone attacked in his home can use reasonable force, which can include deadly force, to protect his or another's life without any duty to retreat from the attacker. It is defined differently in different states. The name appears to have its origin in the English common law rules protecting a person's home and the phrase “one's home is one's castle. ”

Was the old geezer attacked in his home? Nope. He went out to defend his property and outside his "castle."

Maybe you should do some rudimentary thinking before shooting your mouth off. Naw, that just wouldn't be you!

So far, I've looked at maybe 100 groupon offers and gone for two. They were for products that I would have purchased anyway, one being a round at a golf course that I wouldn't have played because it was too expensive. With the coupon, it was about the same as what I'd pay for a normal round but at an exotic location...

I agree that lots of people may end up buying stuff they don't need or won't use. But, for the business owner, it's an opportunity to expose your wares to new customers.

I'm sorry, do you think the commandments regarding "thou shall not kill" and "thou shall not steal" are equivalent? Are all commandments equal?

You may want to step away from the bible and employ some common sense.
