D**S 发帖数: 24887 | 1 Texas Jury Says It’s Cool To Murder Prostitutes For Not Having Sex With You

Via Gawker: This story is beyond belief. Ezkiel Gilbert shot Lenora Ivie
Frago, which initially paralyzed her and then, after nine months, she
finally died. Even though Gilbert admitting killing Frago, the jury
acquitted him. Why? Because he claims he shot her because she wouldn’t
participate in an activity that is banned in the state of Texas.
Gilbert’s actions were justified, they argued, because he was trying to
retrieve stolen property: the $150 he paid Frago. It became theft when she
refused to have sex with him or give the money back, they said.
Gilbert testified earlier Tuesday that he had found Frago’s escort ad
on Craigslist and believed sex was included in her $150 fee. But instead,
Frago walked around his apartment and after about 20 minutes left, saying
she had to give the money to her driver, he said.
The prosecutors—correctly!—argued that the law that allows citizens to
shoot in an attempt to retrieve stolen property is not there to give you the
right to use lethal force to rape someone. But apparently, the jury
disagreed and thought that giving a man a right to tell a woman that her
options are rape or death is A-OK with them, if she accepted money from him.
This is beyond the beyond. Look, if your drug dealer takes your money and
doesn’t give you drugs, you can’t call the cops to report him. You can’t
sue him for breach of contract. Black market activities are true caveat
emptor kind of situations. But apparently, some Texas jury was easy to
convince you should be able to use lethal force to enforce what wasn’t even
an explicit contract (since prostitutes often charge for their time and the
sex is a freebie *wink wink*) that the courts won’t recognize. Because it
’s illegal.
Not that it would be okay to shoot someone for perceived breach of contract
if prostitution was legal. At best, you’d have a right to sue. But hey, I
think prostitution is one case where the libertarian arguments for a strict
free market should apply: If you pay a lady for her services and find them
inadequate, your only legal recourse should be to not use her services again
. Anything outside of that verges into rape-y territory. But under no
fucking circumstances do you get to take her life.
Basically, you’re seeing the same problem that you see with “stand your
ground” laws and other such laws that give people broad rights to shoot
outside of immediate self-defense. It turns shooting cases into situations
where the jury just basically rules in favor of the person who has higher
social status. “White man” outranks “Hispanic prostitute”, and so
shooting her is rendered legal, as long as you can cough up the thinnest of
justifications. But if you’re a black woman who doesn’t even hurt someone
while firing a gun in actual self-defense, too bad for you! These laws are
custom made to be exploited for racist and sexist ends. | D**S 发帖数: 24887 | 2 没人点评一下?
Google 翻译了一下,凑合看吧:
这个故事是令人难以置信。 Ezkiel吉尔伯特拍摄莱诺拉对Ivie弗拉戈,最初她瘫痪了
,然后,9个月后,她终于死了。尽管吉尔伯特承认杀人,陪审团弗拉戈
宣告他无罪。为什么呢?因为他声称,他枪杀了她,因为她不会参加在得克萨斯州被禁
止活动。
吉尔伯特的行动是有道理的,他们认为,因为他试图找回被盗的财产:150元,他
支付弗拉戈。它成为了盗窃,当她拒绝与他性交,或把钱还给他们说。
吉尔伯特作证周二早些时候,他发现弗拉戈的伴游广告Craigslist和认为性行为被
列入她的$ 150费用。但相反,弗拉戈他的公寓里走来走去,约20分钟后离开,说她只
好把钱交给她的司机,他说。
检察官正确!争辩说,法律允许公民拍摄企图找回被盗的财产是不是有给你
有权使用致命武力强奸别人。但很显然,陪审团不同意,并认为一个人有权告诉一个女
人,她选项是A-OK与他们强奸或死亡,如果她接受了他的钱。这是超越
了超越。你看,如果你的毒贩需要你的钱,不给你的药,你不能打电话给警察报告他。
你可以不控告他违反合同。黑市活动是真正的告诫情况自负种。但很显然,一些德州陪
审团很容易说服你应该能够使用致命武力强制执行甚至没有明确的合同(因为妓女往往
他们的时间和收费性行为是一种免费赠品*眨眼眨眼*),法院将无法识别。因为它非法。
不在于它会好起来的拍摄知觉违反合同的人如果卖淫是合法的。在最好的情况下,你有
权起诉。但是,嘿,我认为卖淫是一个案例了严格的自由主义的论据
自由市场应该适用:如果你付出了夫人为她服务,并找到他们不足之处,你的唯一的法
律追索权不应该再次使用她的服务。任何以外的,到强奸-Y领土的青草。但是,在任何
情况他妈的你拿她的生命。
基本上,你看到了同样的问题,你看到的“站在你地面法“和其他法律,让人们广泛的
权利拍摄立即自卫之外。原来拍摄的情况下进入情况陪审团基本上只是赞成的人谁具有
较高的规则社会地位。 “白衣男子”职位“西班牙妓女”,等等
拍摄她提供法律,只要你能止咳最薄的的理由。但是,如果你是一个黑色的女人谁不甚
至伤害别人而在实际自卫射击枪,你太糟糕了!这些法律定制要利用种族主义和性别歧
视的两端。 |
