Deuteronomy 19:21
Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
Med schools in those days did not need to spend a full semester on anatomy.
…cock for cock…pussy for pussy…ass for ass. It’s a Craigslist ad!
Why so greedy? One of each should be enough. Some deities and people want it all. You humans and your deities are strange.
So if I draw a cartoon of someone’s sky fairy or servant thereof, they get to draw a cartoon of *my* sky fairy or servant thereof. Fair enough.
It’s clearly a case of plagiarism from Hammurabi or that Samurian guy and they aren’t getting credit. Yet for folks coming out of Egypt you think some kind of mention or resemblance to the Ma^at would be there.
Bad God for taking credit for Hammurabi work. That is intellectual theft and below one as great and powerful as God. And it would get you kicked out of Harvard, Oxford, ect well maybe. There would definitely be a response out of our service academies or war college, just ask the legislator who had his degree pulled. You wouldn’t want that to happen to you God. So quick get an angel or someone down here to correct this stuff in your book. It just doesn’t look good. The ancient Egyptians code of law the Ma^at would insist upon correction. We are sure you are familiar with all 12 volumes could you maybe drop off a complete collection or give some archeologists a clue where a complete collection could be found. Thanks God Dude
So, given the above, how should New York Times columnist, @CharlesMBlow, have reacted?
He tweeted “So, my son, a 3rd year chem major at Yale was just accosted – at GUN POINT – by a Yale policeman bc he “fit the description” of a suspect…”
Per our book, maybe he should have come at the Yale rent-a-cop with a gun?
Sounds like they don’t have any brains.
@6 Doesn’t matter. First we are not under Mosaic law. 2nd: This is for the sentencing after guilt has been established by a judge. So it may give guidance to a hanging judge, but gives no guidance to one making an arrest.
As far as the unfortunate incident it’s impossible to determine who was right here. I know if I was arresting Billy the Kid I’d have my weapon out and if I was arresting Betsy Sue the school marm I could probably make the arrest without a weapon. I could be completely wrong in both instances. It is possible that it was a rent a cop but I’m pretty sure Yale has actual police officers stationed at the university. So if the officer thought he was dealing with Billy the Kid I could see him or her having her weapon out. Certainly Billy the Kid was smart enough he could have been a third year chem student at Yale, but he took a different path. An argument could be made the officer is overly reliant on his service weapon, and the situation didn’t call for it to be out. Or he should only be armed with a night stick.
Hopefully the son knows that Yale’s policies frown on plagiarism and he doesn’t plagiarize It one of those really high evils at universities and Yale has been know to be hanging judge tough on plagiarism, so the administrator may take comfort in the above passage.
This “Mosaic law” was legislated out of such literal existence by the rabbis who wrote the Talmud several hundred years common era . They said that it didn’t mean that if your cousin was killed, you could/should kill someone in the killer’s family. It meant that the killer’s family must be penalized in some commensurate way for the killing.isti That could mean property, money, or whatever.
Mark Adams, don’t assume that “we” means everyone. We’re not all Christians (who obviously don’t know a damn thing about Judaism).
