      @SKT I found an article / concert review that echoes a lot of what I saw on reddit.

      Think it, be it.

        As we have a no politics rule around here, let me ask a legal question instead:
        How many times would I be able to reload for it still to be considered self defense?

                it certainly feels like the state of confusion.

                    @tody forgive the pun, but i feel like this is a 'loaded' question.
                    I can't help but assume you're referring to a situation in which someone 'eliminates a threat', yet reloads and continues to fire into said threat long after it has expired. That is a heavily situationally-dependent and subjective scenario and would likely come down to the discretion of a jury.
                    Having said that, it seems that if one were to reload AFTER the threat has expired, then one would most likely be considered to have exceeded a reasonable measure of deadly force. Of course this is also subjective and would depend on the initiating threat level of the one being defended against, which would have to be assumed to also have presented a deadly threat. Of course at that point you could bring up the question: "How dead is too dead?"

                    Sorry for the brain dump, feel free to tell me to shut it.

                      ...and probably a good time to end this conversation. Other forums better suited to self defence than here...

                        @WhiskeySandwich @goosehd I'll try to resolve it - I was trying to make a sarcastic comment on yesterday's political development in Germany. hence the first part of my post addressing the no politics rule, and thus the second part asking when desperate measures are still self defense. @Tago-Mago nudged in the same direction today in the music thread, but that went rather unnoticed.
                        Let's finish this here. I promise I won't turn on the evening news today.

                          @tody AH, that went over my head completely. Yeah i dont watch 'the news', i could do a whole rant about that on its own..... but i'll save it because it would probably be more appropriate for the "unpopular opinions" thread. Sorry, i was unaware of any political developments in Germany, so my comments stand alone and don't reference that.

                          @goosehd sorry, just saw you had said something too. I hope my above-stated ignorance of the specific situation allows me some grace lol

                              @goosehd why do they make ketchup packets in such a small size? Like who only ever uses one of those?

                                    @flannel-slut the only acceptable condiments for chips are mayo or malt vinegar. I will accept that ketchup belongs on a burger and a hot dog, but that’s about it
