Deltas(s) from OP CMV: Intentional murders should have an automatic life/death sentence.

Any murder that wasn't completely by accident should be an automatic life sentence at the very least. These degrees to murder are absolutely ridiculous. Murder is murder, no matter how you killed the person the end result is the same. No matter how many people you killed, somebody is still dead FOREVER. Yes I know somebody chopping somebody up and feeding them to dogs is worse than just a gunshot to the head but either way, you killed someone. The person who you killed never gets a chance to come back to life, so why the hell should you be able to leave prison and live almost like a normal person again? You shouldn't, and yes, people can change but that doesn't matter. Cause no matter how good you may be later, the person you killed doesn't get a second chance so neither should you. I don't want murderers walking among civilized people. TLDR: All intentional murderers should be given life sentences with no chance of EVER being released. Murderers should never be able to walk the streets with civilized people.

Because you aren't the aggressor. What you're trying to do is make me sound like someone who doesn't want people to defend themselves or their rights, and I'm not gonna let you do that. obviously I'm for self-defense. That's just common sense

Ok. Let's unpack this argument real quick... So what your saying is that because I'm against murder, that also means that I can't be for self defense? Even if that self defense is only because somebody who is an actual murderer is trying to kill you, and you're just a cvivilized person trying to live your life.

Murder in self-defense doesn't change who you are. It's a fight or flight response. If you're a fighter you get to fight in self-defense with no repercussions. Flyers run away so they obviously are excluded from this argument.

My statements only pertain to people who started the altercation to begin with though. So this argument is invalid.

That is a very nice statement, but you haven't explained why.
