[quote]AN Australian engineer working in India has been charged with attempted murder after shooting at a man outside his apartment, Indian media reports said.
The engineer, named as Levin Justin, shot at the man with an air rifle after he became enraged when he saw him urinating in the street, the Deccan Chronicle online said.
The paper said Mr Jestin, who is working for a local company, was drinking with colleagues on the balcony of his apartment when he saw a man urinating.
Mr Jestin picked up his air rifle and pulled the trigger, hitting the man in the arm, the report said.
The Australian has been charged with attempted murder and has been remanded in custody, the paper said.
The injured man was taken to hospital.
The paper said it was common practice for local people to defecate and urinate on the road despite the protests of local residents.
Comment was being sought from Australia's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.[/quote]

Attempted murder? REALLY?
:frogdowns:
They're just mad because all those students got bashed/stabbed/murdered over here.
In Melbourne, that is.
I don't think it should be attempted murder but definitely be assault.

Broke my automerge
But then again if the person had intent to cause serious bodily injury or death(and they can prove it) to the person then it is attempted murder.

I'm sure you could kill someone with a bb gun, depending on the power of the gun, size of the bb(or if they use a pellet then it is 5 times worse), and the place hit.

Apparently we've got a big problem with indians or something, because like 3 people got bashed last year. i honestly don't see what the big fuss is
"I'm gonna kill this guy with a bb gun from my balcony because he took a piss"
[QUOTE]The engineer, named as [B]Levin Justin[/B][/QUOTE]
What kind of a fake name is that?
I punched myself in the arm just now.
That's attempted suicide apparently.

It is if you had intent you kill yourself.
He could've died if he got hit in the head and didn't get help for 2 hours.
he could have died if the man walked out. Restrained him pumped the bb gun 50 times and blasted him point blank in the temple and left him in a ditch.
Air rifle and BB gun.
That's a huge difference.

It still shouldn't be attempted murder.

That's not the point. What your saying is if i threw a small pebble at someone, i'd be considered attempted murder because i could of picked up a bunch of them and smashed him on the head with them.
This is stupid. The guy should get off without even a fine. If you piss in the streets you deserve to get shot with a bb gun. Maybe then we'd have less people pissing in the streets.
What are you supposed to do if a drunk guy is pissing on your fence?
A. Nothing - your property smells like piss now.
B. Walk up to him, try to get him away, get pissed on in the process.
C. Call the cops, when they finally get there in an hour the guy is long gone.
D. Engage him from far away, teach him to stop pissing on your fucking property.
You could try the USA way and nuke the man and the fence.
Embargo China.

Our justice system isn't about vigilantism, the only time you should ever attack someone with a weapon is when they are a direct threat to you or someone else. It isn't like he was murdering orphans, he was taking a piss, which is far from a major crime.

It's a bad example, because obviously a line has to be drawn somewhere(you can't get someone for attempted murder because they tried to kill a person by yelling at them or something completely retarded), however, in most cases intent to cause harm is the main thing.
An air rifle not a BB gun and being that there have multiple cases of children dieing because of some twat thinking that they are a sniper and shooting the kids in the head with it.
Misleading title, especially when many people think of airsoft guns when they hear bb gun which most certainly isn't the same as an air rifle.
Considering he shot him in the arm, it's not likely to kill him...
You only bleed a little and get huge bruises.
I've been hit by a ricocheted air rifle pellet, it stuck in. Not very deep though.

I have an air soft BB gun.
Well, was he trying to murder him? Because that would be attempted murder.
If I tried to murder somebody with a drinking straw, it would still be murder, regardless of how terrible of an idea that would be. And yes, people have died from being shot by air rifles.

It isn't always intent, however. If someone shot at another person with a firearm, no matter what their intent, it is attempted murder. So they have to prove that the person either had intent to kill, or shot him with a weapon that was dangerous enough.
Dam, shoulda put a 5.62 in his assholes!
