Yeah, you’ve made that clear. Your stuff is yours and anyone who tries to take it deserves to die, die, die. Got it.
Don’t let those long stairs in the ivory tower wear you legs out before you get down to use regular joes forced to live on the mortal plane of earth.
No, anyone who invades my home shouldn’t be surprised if I defend my home, including life, family, and property.
How can there be so much room up there on the cross for you AND ivan AND Jesus?
No they’re not. They’re coming out of their bedroom, down the stairs, and into the living room and shooting someone who hasn’t made a move on any family members.
Here, I edited to add the word you accidentally left out. No need to thank me.
What the fuck are you talking about? All I said is that people in this thread are all too eager to kill people simply for stealing their stuff.
I’ve already said that outside the home, mere non-violent theft does not justify deadly force, ever.
And it’s funny – I read the thread and all I see are people who are “eager” not to have their stuff stolen so they never have to consider how to respond to that.
Your point would make more sense if I was going into his living room to shoot him. By coming into my living room he has already made a move on my family because he has invaded where we live. Please explain how you reconcile the notion that thieves and robbers should be allowed to steal and rob with safety and impunity with your notion of yourself as the bulwark of civilization in this thread.
No, thats what YOU are saying they are doing.
You assume the perfect scenario for you view. You assume perfect knowledge of the situation for the homeowner. You assume the best intentions of the burgular.
You assume ninja like qualities for the homeowner. You assume a perfect layout of the house. You IGNORE the fact if the burgular WASNT there in first place none of this would have happened. You ignore the fact the homeowner had NOTHING to do with putting themselves in this situation in the first place (besides existing themselves).
Yeah, we’ll assume that everyone who steals WILL EVENTUALLY KILL YOUR FAMILY. Because that’s what the statistics show, right?
Nope…sorry. The sentence was written correctly the first time.
We may actually be getting somewhere. Anyone who breaks into my house at a time when I am home is going to be treated as though they have the worst intentions toward me and my family. Of course they are. Are you seriously suggesting that people make choices when their safety and that of their families are at stake based on pure statistics?
Most random dudes aren’t pedophiles. Statistically, then, I should let my kid go off with random dudes. Most breast lumps are benign. Statistically, I should tell my daughter not to waste her time and money going to the doctor.
You equate “willing to defend with whatever means necessary” with “eager to kill” way too easily. It seems like somehow in your mind, you read these posts and translate them in your head into something like, “Well, FUCK, it’s MY TiVO, I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU LIKE THE DOG YOU ARE MOTHERFUCKER! WHERE’S MY SHOTGUN?? NASCAR!!” Then you imagine poor lil’ fourteen year old Billy, who was only wanting a TiVo and his mommy and daddy love him, and he’s trying desperately to run away from the maniacal homeowner who has chased him all the way to his own home, and now he’s not only going to gun down lil’ Billy but he’s gonna kill the rest of his family and then beat his pregnant dog to death with a crowbar because they’re SO bloodthirsty that they can hardly contain their bloodlust.
Well, if Will Ferrel ever stars in a docu drama like that I might buy a ticket 
I’m hoping they get McLovin to play the part of Lil Billy.
Wait, I mean WHATCHU SAYIN’ BOY?? I GONNA KEEL YOU!!! WHERE’S MY SHOTGUN?? NASCAR!!!
Christ, don’t you people in this thread know anything? You don’t beat a pregnant dog to death with a crowbar. You use a croquet mallet.
And guess how you best do that?
I’ll give you a clue: it’s not by shooting the son of a bitch after he gets in, because there will always be another one until we have a different model of society.
As a preventitive measure, how about appealing to their better nature - because even villains love their families sometimes - and trying to channel all that devious inventiveness into something worthwhile?
I used to, but the damned things just break too easily as I swing them in my unbridled rage. I had to switch to the crowbars just to ensure that the weapon stayed intact long enough for me to fully administer my brand of street justice on the pregnant dogs.
Aren’t you paying attention? Homeowners just want to KILL KILL KILL so of COURSE they’re not going to appeal to the lovable thief’s better nature. And Crom help him if he has a pregnant dog at home.
…and Mithras help his pregnant dog once UPS gets here with my new carbon fiber and titanium croquet mallet. The makers call it “The Bitch Basher!!!”
