The point was the motivation of protecting money. Under the Texas law, the defender doesn't need to be defending life, only seeking to recover property. Most of what you've said isn't a counterargument to what I said. Willy nilly was never a claim.

Louisiana appears to allow lethal force just to prevent unlawful entry into a dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle.

You're also looking at one law about one situation to dispute what I conjectured about a different situation. Is it not legal to chase down the thief yourself? If you are threatened in the process, is it not then legal to defend yourself? Are 'dead or alive' bounties not legal? The effect may well be the same.

>Are 'dead or alive' bounties not legal?

Are you claiming they are? Note I simply asked:

> Please cite law statute or legal cases with links. Poorly researched news stories and opinions are much less useful.

Nothing you've posted allows Ulbricht to hire someone to kill Green, no matter how Ulbricht obtained the money to begins with. Until you cite a law by statute you think allows this, we're done.

So... you make up an assertion I'm supposed to back up? Nice.

[ChrisLomont]

>Odd that laws allow for killing to prevent a robbery

Your assertion, not true as stated, and only party true except in very specific circumstances. You claim Texas; I show that's not true in such generality; you drop that line. I'll vote this one as "Not backed up."

> I'm pretty sure you could still post a reward, 'dead or alive'

Your assertion, not backed up. And wrong.

> I think it's legal to try to catch the robber yourself indefinitely, and defend yourself if threatened in the process.

Your assertion, not backed up. And wrong.

> Is it not legal to chase down the thief yourself?

Your assertion, not backed up. And wrong.

>Louisiana appears to allow lethal force just to prevent unlawful entry into a dwelling, place of business, or motor vehicle.

And now just simply move your original goalposts from robbery, since your original claim about Texas was not the slam dunk you hoped.

>Are 'dead or alive' bounties not legal?

Your assertion, not backed up. Also wrong.

Do you see why I asked for you to provide statute, since all your unbacked assertions are just wrong?

>So... you make up an assertion I'm supposed to back up? Nice.

You make up assertions, are unable to support them when asked multiple times, and then try to blame me? Classic.

The Texas and Louisiana and other laws do back up the assertion I actually made. It was a broad assertion by design. I only mentioned Louisiana because it's an even lower bar than I expected.

I'm sorry you thought my statement had 'such generality' to apply to any defense from any robbery. If you look back at the point I was making you'll see why this isn't relevant.
