Cancer Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 2 hours ago, Lord Liaden said: ... As our current Prime Minister's late father, and former PM, famously said, "Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt." I hadn't heard the full quote before, though I knew who said it.

Ranxerox Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 7 hours ago, Pattern Ghost said: Thanks,Ranxerox. I see where our opinions diverge. I don't believe that anyone knocking on someone's door should have a gun directly pointed at them without first identifying them as an imminent threat to life or limb. The law agrees with me on that point. So, the police identifying themselves properly is a moot point. That said, let's agree to disagree on that detail. Yes, but if he realized that it was the police on the other side of the door, he likely wouldn't have pointed a gun at them and would still be alive. Still, I am happy to agree to disagree.
