Comment on Intruder
zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 10 months agoI don’t understand how this comment has been upvoted, especially as a response to another comment that boils down to “it sucks that people are driven to burglary and it sucks that people have to defend themselves with deadly force from burglary”

Saying “this kid has every right to be proud” about resorting to lethal violence is an “interesting point”?

Yes

No, you’d have to say a bunch of other stuff around that quote too.

The “bunch of other stuff around that quote” is them saying “fuck you” and then a bunch of chest thumping

Because when you’re a child alone in a house the motivation of an intruder just doesn’t matter and you shouldn’t make a kid feel bad for doing what was necessary in a life or death scenario.

No one in this thread is saying the kid should feel bad for defending himself, the original comment was pointing out how terrible it was for the kid to be in that position at all.
