Why shoot innocent people who break into your house? | |
071676 User ID: 26630358 United States 11/14/2012 11:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm sorry, I hope not many people seriously think this way. Quoting: Sneetch "That is a disturbing thought that Americans would actually think to use those objects of violence known as guns on an innocent individual who decides to break into their homes. Why would you do that?" [link to answers.yahoo.com] I would call it the typical Yahoo Answers troll but being that this person is a top contributor, I feel like there is a bit of seriousness there, besides the fact that people actually believe this. If they are innocent, what the hell are they doing breaking into my house? You fuck up coming into my house, I will fuck you up in the extreme. I have no idea why you would suddenly and illegally have a need in my house, but I will have a need to end your need! |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1069792 Germany 11/14/2012 11:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Big talk. That's all. We have a world full of big talkers being run by about a hundred guys. Go kill those fuckers if you're so bad-ass....They are robbing you blind and poisoning your families...is that different?? Stay focused. The thread was about breaking and entering. Not a big talker here. Just a lot of life experience under arms. No, the thread was about first degree burglary. I can bring anything in to the conversation to make my point, and I did. A lot of experience with people who talk smack and never back it up. That is burglary dude, as far as I'm concerned. I don't talk smack. Already been in the situation mentioned, more than oce. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1069792 Germany 11/14/2012 11:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Sneetch Also my thoughts in a way. No "innocent" person is going to get by, breaking into peoples homes and stealing shit. They'd sooner be a beggar that could simply come to the door and ask for a can of food or something else. These are all different situations. I think the point was do you shoot in every situation?? That was the question in my mind anyhow. I really don't want my 4 year old looking at some guys brains on the wall in a situation that I knew I could have handled in a different manner. If there's no choice then there's no choice. Of course there are. The problem is the fact people in their right minds don't just wander into someone's home unannounced, its like trespassing into guarded territory. Sure, the guards COULD let you go, but if you saw the warnings and proceeded anyways, they're going to be reasonably suspicious as to what the hell you're doing. And two or three guys and you're just fucked most likely. Then you need some better training. I'd suggest Massad Ayoob. 2 or 3 guys can be overcome. You just need the right skills. |

I will believe you guys. You guys are some hardcore mofos though. Just sayin. I couldn't shoot some helpless guy just for fun. I could shoot or stab the guy who kicks in my door though. Unless you are carrying at all times...You'll be fighting. I would concentrate more on that. And two or three guys and you're just fucked most likely. These are all different situations, and they all call for different reactions. If he is breaking in he is not falling through your door. You do not just fall against a door into someone's house. Now, if he fell hard enough through a window - maybe this is plausible. Obviously drunk people can be very dangerous. Many obviously drunk people have killed others. |

Yes, in Hollywood where the guys come at you one at a time without any weapons and don't catch you completely off guard (and maybe even sneak up on you as your walking out your door). Yeah then you're right. Give me a break. Spoken like somebody who hasn't been in any real fights or life threatening situations. |

Second, I do not trust drunk people, based on my experiences. A lot of them are just unpredictable, and unless its someone I knew, I'd have something ready, because i've seen a lot of drunks go from "haha thats funny" to "what the fuck did you say to me, i'll beat your ass". Really, I don't want to murder someone, but if they proved to me that they were some scumbag who was going to harm me/my family, I wouldn't hesitate.

The man with the knife can close that distance and attack you with that knife faster than you can draw your gun every time. The average attacker can close that distance in less than 2 seconds. So, by the time you unholster your weapon and make a judgement call you are toast. If someone has broken into your house with you still in it chances are they are there to do more than rob you. I'm sure there are situations where they are drunk or confused, but how can you gamble with your life and lives of your family deciding what their intentions are? |
