There are people in this country more concerned about a Walmart being looted than about an innocent man being killed. Many of them tout the Bible, but “Thou shall not loot” is not in there. “Thou shalt not kill” sure is.

Actually, “Thou shalt not steal” is of course in there. But my point about priorities remains the same.

Innocence is relative. He hadn't killed anybody yet, but he had a knife and apparently was moving aggressively. Did he deserve to lose his life? No. Maybe he should have been tased. I'm sure the investigation will look at that. But why steal? Two wrongs do not equal a right.

Yes, Marianne. Your totally right! It’s perfectly fine to up-end people’s lives that had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with this situation because a criminal (who was actively beating his mother) brandished a with a deadly weapon against cops and got shot due to it.

Actually, the correct phraseology of that commandment is "Thou shalt not murder" Self defense isn't a sin

You left out coveting, too. Also false witness -- where's your proof on his innocence?

Yes it is in there. Thou shall not steal. Which version are you reading?
Replying to @marwilliamson
That “innocent man” was the one trying to murder. Which made him not innocent at all.

Would your opinion be the same if it was your home or business being looted? Something tells me it wouldn't.
Replying to @marwilliamson
"Innocent" people dont go running at cops with a blade, my fucking God.
Replying to @marwilliamson
The commandment is "thou shalt not commit murder". All murders are killings, but all killings aren't murder.
