Examples Of Constructive Intent

Last Monday in the quaint town of Park City the residents were astonished to hear the news regarding a shooting that took place early Monday morning. The victim of the shooting was Jose Fernandez. He was 37 years old and worked and lived in Park City. The shooter James Henfling, a 27-year-old, Midvale resident, is being charged with a first-degree murder and could face three years to life in prison. Unfortunately, Fernandez died at a Salt Lake hospital around 5:45 pm. Additional charges may be added to Henfling due to the Fernandez’s death.

 Porter said the charge was inappropriate: "The act of intentionally firing a gun at some

Police say that one person cut off the other and road rage happened. Witness say that the shooter Ronald Gesser shot McKnight threw the window and into McKnight’s car.

Yes Dylan and Eric’s parents should have gone to jail. Rachel was a kind girl. She shown kindness to everyone. They stuff that those two boys did was terrible and that is something the parents should have talked to them. In Rachel’s code of ethics she wrote is to be kind to people. She showed love to everyone. They kids who pulled off the shootings were 17 the shooting was on April 20, 1999. It was at combine high school. Yes the parent of Dylan and Eric should go to jail. It was there fault sort of because they should have been more envied.

The officer was called to assist the woman’s son but instead he was murdered. Police officers use their weapons under any circumstances. Officers need to be trained to deal with any situation, even an emergency of a mentally ill person without having to go as far as shooting someone all because he felt threatened. There needs to be new training exercise provided for the police departments to help reduce the murders and harassment against minorities based on the inability to handle someone.

The Pulse Orlando shooting was one of the deadliest shootings to happen this year. There were so many lives lost because of one man’s hatred towards a certain group of people. The shooter himself dedicated countless hours to plan his attack on the club. Hate crimes happen all the time in the United States, too many. Many people lost their lives, the shooter was well informed on how to execute his plan, and this shooting was yet another example of a hate crime.

I wouldn’t have done anything else in the incident, besides empty out my magazine from my duty issued weapon. The local citizens need to understand basic laws and commands from police officers. If every parent raised their children to obey commands from police officers, there wouldn’t be any shootings from the public servants. Each individual is responsible for his or her own actions and mental state. Blaming violence on guns, is like blaming spoons on making people fat. Gun’s do not discharge by themselves, it takes an operator and his or her mindset to pull the trigger. I would not let the city of Pasco pay out any damages to the Montes family. this opinion is based on the actions of Mr. Montes himself. No family should have to get reimbursed with any type of wages from the city in the process of a death of their own. The media has a upper hand in making matters worse. The media likes to put a microscope on public servants and display them as cruel individuals. Parenting and lack of respect towards an authority figure start at home. I believe that the Antonio Montes knew his intent and the effect of his actions would lead to

In the article, “Bus Rider who jumped armed robber”, says he would not have confronted the armed thief if he were to be in that situation again. Casey Borgen states he is “mild mannered.” The issue in this article being raised is a man who was minding his own business on his ride to work was faced with a moral dilemma. He did not have time to go into ontological shock and trying to be objective with rationalizing a situation with a gun pointed at him.

In the trial he was found not guilty the main argument being “it was an accident” they say he only fired one shot at her, when in reality she was shot five times. This situation may would never had happened if San Francisco was not a sanctuary

Since the law was introduced there have been many controversial cases that were classified justifiable homicides where the shooter was cleared of all charges. In September 2010 Patrick Lavoie was killed by

In this case this shooting led to a dozens of protesters standing across the street from the scene behind a line of police officers shouting and waving fingers at the officers.” The shooting led to a tense couple of hours at the station, where scuffles with police broke out -- and what appeared to be lit fireworks were thrown”(CNN Wire n.p.). It came out that Antonio never shot the gun he still had five rounds in the magazine also one in the chamber. “The teen had a rap sheet that included charges for three assaults, armed robbery, armed criminal action and multiple uses of weapons since he was 17, police said”(CNN Wire n.p.). A lot of people say that events like this is what makes people come together and try to make a

On October 1, 2017 America was, yet again, devastated when Las Vegas suffered the United States worst mass shooting. One man killed over 50 people and injured 527. After he was finished firing from the 39th floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort, he committed suicide. His name was Stephan Paddock (Yan and Park). When most people think of a mass shooting, they think of a terroristic act or someone shooting at a large group of innocent citizens, like Columbine High School or Sandy Hook Elementary School. In actuality, most people do not realize that whenever two or more people are injured or killed by a gun, it is considered a mass shooting. These “mass shootings” happen every day in America and they are one of the leading causes of death in

Transferred intent is when an individual has the intent to cause harm to one person but injures another one instead (Lippman, 2012). In order to meet the requirements of transferred intent, two questions must be asked and both questions must have a “yes” to apply transferred intent. The first question: If contact had been made with the intended object (Bert), would there have been a crime (National Paralegal College, 2014)? The answer is yes, there is a crime against pointing and firing a gun at a human being and first degree murder. The second question: If the object with which contact was made (Pratt) had been the intended target, would there have been a crime (National Paralegal College, 2014)? The answer here is yes (first degree murder). Under the legal doctrine of transferred intent, Jack is still liable for the intentional crime he intended to commit against Bert, although, Jack mistakenly committed a crime against Pratt.

The prosecution, representing the U.S. Government, calls the first witness. A N.I.S. (Naval Investigative Service) officer states that he received a letter from the victim, Private First Class William T Santiago, requesting a transfer off the base. In exchange, the victim would provide evidence of an illegal shooting over the fence line. The offender of the fence line shooting was Lance Cpl. Dawson. The prosecution was trying to show motive by their line of questioning. The defense makes the point
