Never blamed the lady nor discussed the legality of her actions. The issue was
one of whether she was justified in using deadly force. The answer was that
she was not justified.
Lawrence continues:
"Thieves invaded an old lady's property bent upon who knows what? She couldn't
have been sure what they were up to."
Yeah, that would be the paranoid bit. Prob'ly gummint agents comin' to kidnap
her for tests by aliens and Big Pharma!
Lawrence continues his bizarre tangent:
<snip copied material from Wikipedia>
Well, another example of Wikipedia getting it wrong. A short response would be
that Nietzsche had mixed views regarding both Ubermensch and Last Man so that
it is simply wrong to claim that he took the former to be good and the latter,
bad.
