still presents a good case study for discussion.
In the past pickle has defended people for things like shooting cops who pulled them over for speeding, or in one case for shooting a policeman sitting behind a desk at the police station as acts of self defense.
He has run and hid in his usual fashion from discussing his views in more detail. This would be a prime opportunity for him, or you or anyone else who might perhaps share his viewpoint to explain whether or not Robert Payne, the man in this story would have been justified in shooting a policeman coming to arrest him for soliciting a minor for sex and apparently for posing for porn pictures or something similar.
From your standpoint would it have mattered whether children he solicited were willing participants? eg. it would be ok to kill a cop who wanted to arrest him when the child was eager to go with him, but not ok to shoot him if he had solicited one who had no interest in going with him?
