Is it OK to use lethal force to prevent rape?

Well, if you mean ''OK'' as in ''acceptable'', then no.

If you mean ''OK'' as in ''understandable'', then yes.


In this ''filthy liberal''s'' opinion, I think that using lethal force should not be accepted as ''the only way out'' of any and all bad situations, whatever the situation may be. But it should also be understood as ''the only way out'' of some bad situations.

Oh, and dg - That thing that can help a 100 lb girl with no self-defense training fight off a 200 lb guy is called adrenaline. It can also help bystanders to lift cars and buses off of people in accidents. Doesn''t work every time, but you should never underestimate the power of the human spirit!

awwww, jc you are not a filthy liberal

but with all due respect, given the choice between adrenaline and the human spirit and a gun, I would go with the firearm every time. when it comes down to it, I want the law to be on the side of the victim, not the criminal
