The world according to Manji, Vigilantism is GOOD!

This particular member of SB (also posts at SD, so I pitty this place as well) had the brilliant idea that EVERYTHING is the fault of the criminal. That means if you chase a criminal in your car while firing blindly at the same time, any damage you cause is the fault of the criminal.

Now thats the biggest damned leap of logic I have ever seen.

"So, you, ah, killed him?"
"Yes, officer."
"You killed him all over the place!"
"Yes, I did."
"With plastic explosives!"
"Yep."
"And a rocket launcher!"
"Uh-huh."

Sounds suspiciously like the Pentagon's justification for bombing wedding parties (and Canadian infantry, and tribal elders, and, and....) while hunting for al Qiada.

I'd say this retard might be Shrubby except that Shrubby doesn't have the intelligence to use a message board.
It's not my place in life to make people happy. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to watch me slaughter cows you hold sacred. Don't talk to me unless you're prepared to have your basic assumptions challenged. If you want bunnies in light, talk to someone else.

I have nothing against shooting to kill a perp who's trying to make off with my car, or for that matter any piece of property that I own. However I can't condone reckless public endangerment while trying to stop a perp from doing so. If you have a clean shot, fine, shoot him if needed, but to engage in a movie style car chase on city streets shows a complete lack of judgement and it just boggles my mind.

Ahh, you mean where at the wedding party the people were firing rifles into the air, making the pilots think they were under fire?

They also had a heavy machine gun.

Yep. The same site that had a magic disappearing AAA piece that no one except the USAF ever seemed to be able to find.

Two people can pick up and carry off a weapon of the caliber the USAF reported and found a pile of shell casings from.

Back to the subject at hand, Manji is obviously an idiot, as evidenced by his moronic giant 16"-gun tank ideas. This merely makes him a lunatic as well as an idiot. But it's not unprecedented; the "logic" that reckless use of indiscriminate force against a criminal and anyone he happens to be near (or hide behind) is acceptable and its results can be blamed on the criminal is interesting. Replace the word "criminal" with "terrorist" and this "reasoning" suddenly sounds a lot more familiar.
