There's a Loophole in Our Law Against Murder

  Loopholes are often not good. Oh, those loopholes in the tax laws, you might like. But, what if there were loopholes that let people rape, or commit arson, or to burglarize, or to murder?
   Could we go back to that last one? What if there was a law that said, as long as you can argue that you did it in self defense, you can kill the other person, then, would that be a good law? What if there were a law saying that the person allowed to decide whether he or she felt jeopardized would be the person doing the killing, not the jury?
   Self defense is a great thing. Long before these Stand Your Ground laws were established, people could argue self defense, but they had to prove it. Now, they don't. They just have to claim it. They become their own jury.
  And, we are left with a loophole in our law against murder. Murder is the greatest crime a person can commit. To have such a loophole in that law is a grave thing.
