I realize I’ve always assumed it’s illegal to murder hobos, but I’ve never asked a lawyer about to see if there’s some actual law about it. I mean, they have no family, so it’s basically a victimless crime.
Sorry, ss396, but a hobo is, by definition, homeless. Therefore, a hobo cannot be a neighbor. And, didn’t Saul get in trouble when he disobeyed the commandment, “Thou shalt utterly destroy”? I mean – he got kicked out of the pool when he didn’t kill everything in sight.
Sorry ss396 but that is not what that commandment says. It is “Thou shalt not Murder.” There is a difference between the words. Murder means taking someone’s life unlawfully. Kill means to just end someone’s life. Killing is wrong. The govmint can lawfully murder someone. I can lawfully murder someone in self-defense. I think it is legal to murder hippies err I mean Hobos.
Even if, for the sake of argument, we accept that this is a victimless crime – it is still pointless.
Forget the hobo. Kill the lawyer. At least that would benefit the public at large.
Oh, and don’t ask him first if it is legal – he’ll just lie.
I don’t find this one funny either. I don’t believe people loose their humanity, just because they are not in their right frame of mind. At least with hobos, they have the courtesy to not to try and push their craziness on society as a whole, unlike those poor mentally ill people in the DNC.
Um, first of all, how many hobos do you get up in Idaho? But to the point: yes, it’s illegal to “murder” hobos. However, killing in self-defense is not murder, it is justifiable homicide. So if the hobo is threatening you with the sharp, pointy end of the stick he has his knapsack tied to, and you pull some ninja move on him that makes him trip and fall onto his sharp pointy stick, and he dies, you’re off the hook.
All I can say for the growing number on every street corner in Richmond, is for someone whose “starving” they seem to have access to an endless supply of Cardboard and magic markers…
What did Ron Paul ever do to you?
Yeah that’s pretty random all right. Oh well, the reaction might be funny.
You might get stuck with a hefty fine for littering.
don’t ever kill anything you don’t intend to eat, and they’re really tough to field dress.
don’t bother.
Might ask Ace. I hear he has a long history of such things and for all I know he might be a lawyer. Or a self-loathing hobo.
Isn’t Glenn Reynolds an attorney? He’s not a liberal and I hear he has has some experience in this field.
Sorry, Frank, this one was not amusing.
