"Few creatures of the night have captured our imagination like vampires.
What explains our enduring fascination with vampires? Is it the overtones of sexual lust, power, control? Or is it a fascination with the immortality of the undead?"

Feel free to post any vampire-related content here. I'll be posting various vampire media I enjoy just as a way of kickstarting this community but don't let that stop you from posting something else. I just wanted a place to discuss vampire movies, books, games, etc.

Under this philosophy; citizens residing within states that have the castle doctrine would legally be protected from vampires while in their motor vehicles?

What is a castle doctrine?

[โ€“] Zagorath@aussie.zone 0 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Motor vehicles? Castle doctrine is about overriding the usual limitations (around what's reasonable use of force) on the right to self defence if you're in your home. Cars don't come into it.

Some places also extend the same protections that castle law provides to your home to your car, but that's separate from castle doctrine itself.

I didn't realize the car bit was separate, I assumed it was the difference between stand your ground and castle doctrine.

Yeah true "stand your ground" is anywhere, or at least anywhere public. Not sure if it applies in private spaces that aren't your own.
