If they can broadcast that kind of admission, then JJ will become the liability, and Hurricane will have to consider them untouchable. Of course, that doesn’t mean JJ will will agree.

That depends on the state. Anywhere with a “stand your ground” law such a trap would clearly fly, but in other states it depends on the particular standards of self-defense. I’m pretty sure that California, for example, would not permit you to set a deadly trap when you could instead flee. And even in the places where it is legal, that doesn’t guarantee that the police will believe you when you say that unidentifiable corpse was coming to kill you.

I always laugh a little inside when people start discussing ethics as though they were hard-coded constants of objective existence.

Speaking as someone of a rather Negative-Utilitarian mentality… killing is always justified if the death results in a net reduction of suffering… which tends to be increasingly the case the more are euthanised in one go. Even so, the most quick, clean and merciful method should be strongly favoured.

Obviously I have ethical differences with most people and am fully aware of that… but I try not to judge them too harshly for it unless they judge me first.

Pacifism is not a beneficial trait in their circumstances.

By common sense I meant common knowledge of basic US law. Maybe you should have specified what part you thought needed a citation since I couldn’t even tell you wanted to waste both of our time discussing ethics on the internet.

Um, how about instead you cite me an ethical system where it is REQUIRED (as in you must do it or you are a bad person) to worry about the well-being of a SERIAL KILLER who murdered your friend in front of you and is now coming to kill you and the rest of your friends? Because I honestly can’t think of a single one and basically EVERY ethical system on the planet would be ok with pre-planned lethal self-defense in this situation.
