Yeah, something like that. Maybe that's an unfair example though, because that reaction was OTT even by 'settled' standards.
You can't beat country people for hysterical over-reaction.

Sorry, just read my post, I didn't mean it the way it sounds. And yes, there should be a presumption of innocence.
Regards what would constitute a non-innocent victim, well I would look differently on two shootings, one of a drug-dealer shot by a rival, one of a young girl walking home at night. The drug-dealer played a part in his own downfall, the young girl did not. Neither warrented, but in my opinion differing levels of innocence.
The two types of Justice. State and Street.
Most of us feel seperate from street justice which means we can give whatever opinion we want whichout contradicting ourselves. When it's State Justice we have a certain responsibilty and culpability.

Ok, a perspective explained. Does the age not come into it for you though? If a 16 year old girl, possibly poorly educated, was dealing drugs, would more or less deserving of concern?
A genuine question....
What do you suggest? A three strikes and out system?
