Me too. Something along the lines of, "Gee I was wrong, but I made a bit shit out of myself, and now I can't figure out how to get out of it gracefully". It has happened to rld on a few threads now--go ahead, ask him about the Haddiths of Aisha.
You plainly can be charged with attempted murder for trying to kill someone who isn't there, if you make a positive act towards killing them, in the full belief that they are there, and that your act will result in their death.
No Migrane. No analogies. Just a clear recognition that since Fuji was just going to spout his unsubstantiated opinions with nothing but hot air to back them up, I was actually going to have to take a text off the shelf and argue from authority:
The Law of Armed Conflict, Solis, Cambridge University Press, 2010, p232-234 discussion of civilians:
"What LOAC forbids is making civilians the
object of attack."
pg 309- When a combatant is accused of a war crime, and the victim is alleged to be a civilian,
the prosecution bears the burden of proof that the victim was a civilian. (Prosecutor v. Blaskic, IT-95-14-A (20 July 2004), para 111
and the deal closers:
Prosecuter v. Kunarac at al It-96-23 & 23/1-T (22 Feb 2001)
3. The attack must be "directed against any civilian population" to constitute the offense.
425. The targeted population must be of a predominantly civilian in nature.
Prosecutor v. Galic It-98-29-T (5 december 2003) (relying on Blaskic)
42. ...the Trial Chamber observed in relation to the
actus reus that "the attack must have caused deaths and/or serious bodily injury within the civilian population or damage to civilian property..."
Okay Fuji. Your turn. How about some texts or caselaw?
Of course, you won't have any, because your position is absurd, but you won't change your position because you are far too much of a fanatic.
But others might get some value out of the above. But feel free to keep making your dishonest murder analogies. At least you should thank me for introducing you to the concepts of mens rea and actus reus, things that clearly were not part of your knowledge base.
Maybe we can look forward to Oxford publishing "Fuji on how
my world works."
