Why did Columbine occur?

It's hard to say, but there's evidence of the two shooters at Columbine, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, being bullied on a daily basis. Many say that this made them snap and plan to take it out on the school that they hated so much.

Also, if you take the time to read (or read about) their journals, they wrote entry after entry of incredibly angry rants. They hated mankind and thought that they were more evolved or more enlightened than everyone else around them.

They didn't really kill anyone in particular at Columbine... They just wanted to achieve a high body count.

The bottom line is that they were disturbed kids who were treated poorly and hated humanity. They didn't just one day snap...they'd had this massacre planned for well over a year. i agree they planned it for over 12 months and they planned it pretty well to bad that they did what they did they could have been very successful in life

782.071 Vehicular homicide.--"Vehicular homicide" is the killing of a human being, or the killing of a viable fetus by any injury to the mother, caused by the operation of a motor vehicle by another in a reckless manner likely to cause the death of, or great bodily harm to, another.

The job environment for a homicide detective is not clean or pretty. They have to physically go into the location where a suspicious death has and handle things that most of us would not like to touch.

And when they get back to their office, it won't be fancy and they will have to make out a lot of boring paperwork. Many like it because it is a challenge to their perseverance and intellect.

Yes.

Answer:

Yes you CAN but you may not. Certain circumstances sometimes allow for not serving anytime.

Self Defense is a very strong defense against murder or manslaughter charges.

When is it legal to use deadly force when you are protecting yourself from being harmed?

When you believe your life is in danger. * Loosely defined it means if a person has no means of escape or sanctuary (such as a locked room) they may take whatever action needed to prevent themselves and/or others from physical harm. In some states a homeowner shooting someone who breaks in would not be subject to charges, other states require that the intruder be armed in such a way as to present physical danger to the inhabitants. Whether or not it was necessary for an intended victim/victim to use "deadly force" is almost always decided by the physical evidence and circumstances of individual cases and not by the existing laws. Case in point, a New York taxi driver was recently given a 12 year sentence for running down a man who had robbed him at gun point. The premise being that the robber had already left the taxi and was no longer a threat therefore the driver had no reason to inflict bodily harm upon the perpetrator/victim.

How many years for vehicular homicide in Florida?

There is no statute of limitations. Vehicular homicide is a 3rd degree felony and is defined by Florida Statute 782.071 as follows:

"Vehicular homicide" is the killing of a human being, or the killing of a viable fetus by any injury to the mother, caused by the operation of a motor vehicle by another in a reckless manner likely to cause the death of, or great bodily harm to, another.

Florida criminal statute of limitations is defined in Florida Statute 775.15 as follows:

Time limitations; general time limitations; exceptions.-

(1)

A prosecution for a capital felony, a life felony, or a felony that resulted in a death may be commenced at any time. If the death penalty is held to be unconstitutional by the Florida Supreme Court or the United States Supreme Court, all crimes designated as capital felonies shall be considered life felonies for the purposes of this section, and prosecution for such crimes may be commenced at any time.

(2)

Except as otherwise provided in this section, prosecutions for other offenses are subject to the following periods of limitation:(a)

A prosecution for a felony of the first degree must be commenced within 4 years after it is committed.

Though Vehicular homicide is generally a third degree felony (can be a first degree felony if the person knew the accident occurred and failed to give information or render aid), there is no statute of limitations since by definition it is a felony that resulted in a death.

Is there an age limit to become a homicide detective?

The process to become a homicide investigator varies with every law enforcement agency. Politics have as much to do with one's success as does competence and experience. In a small agency, there may be only one or a few general-assignment detectives, or none at all (80% of the 18,000+ law enforcement agencies in the United States have fewer than 20 sworn officers), so anyone can be a "homicide detective," if a homicide takes place.

In larger agencies, where there are career homicide detectives, there is seldom any requirement of service time to become a detective. However, homicide is usually regarded as the most prestigious investigative assignment, and the investigators in that assignment will generally be fairly senior, with ten years or more of service as police officers.

What percentage of homicides are victim precipitated?

Victims precipitate 0% of all homicides. The decision to commit the crime is still made by the perpetrator and always precipitated by that person. No matter how dumb, naive, careless, greedy, or even guilty of a crime the victim may be, the person who decides to commit the crime against them is still the perpetrator and the person who was subject to the crime is still the victim. The percentage of occurrence that the perpetrator is the only victim of their own crime is negligible, and that person is still the perpetrator.
