Comment on Intruder

  I didn’t say they deserved death. I said you shouldn’t be worrying about the outcome (which is a decent probability of their death) while defending yourself. No one should be expected to hold back when their own safety is on the line. They didn’t put themselves in that situation. It’s entirely on the offender. If you manage to restrain/run them off without killing them, great but don’t risk your own life to do so.

    I’m not really sure if you read my original post or not, it doesn’t have anything at all to do with what someone should or shouldn’t do when someone invades their home. It’s entirely to do with the “he had it coming”/“he deserved it” attitude a lot of responses seem to have.

      I was responding to this. I didn’t see an earlier one.

      Do you really think breaking and entering deserves a death sentence? I’m not condoning it by any means, but equally death seems like a disproportionate response, not to mention the long term effects this is bound to have on the child.

      The person you responded to didn’t say they deserved it either. They said they didn’t care if the intruder gets killed because they got killed being an asshole. They’re not saying he had it coming. They’re saying he got what he got and they’re not going to give a shit about him because it was entirely avoidable by just not breaking into people’s homes. There’s literally 0 reason to feel bad for him.
