Reporting from Great Britain, where apparently there are lawful ways to kill:

This story caught my eye...
A TEENAGE girl who feared a marriage was being arranged by her parents was killed unlawfully, a coroner said yesterday.


It is tragic that this young lady is dead. However, I couldn't help but give a chuckle at the phrase "killed unlawfully." It makes me wonder how one might perform a lawful killing.

I wonder if this isn't actually an attempt by the authorities to cover up a suicide?

The poor girl didn't wanna do it. What other choice did she have? I'm just saying...

I sort of like the good old days when "that guy needed killin'" was a perfectly acceptable defense. One must be careful how that defense is carried out, but I have known of some people who seriously needed killin'.

I've often mused at the office that "justifiable homicide" must be a legal defense when dealing with those who are less than ignorant in society.

But, I've garnered little support for my cause on that issue ad a few other similar theories, such as the "dingy-gene" theory that could create a cure for the basic stupids.

Ahh, but to rue the world again!
