    Yeah, you're wrong for that. And IDGAF what you say.

    Even if caught they wouldn't get the death penalty so you should be able to apply it?

    No.

    Your possessions really aren't that important.

    Yes, well I am not surprised by your view. You have expressed it in hundreds of ways over the past 10 or 12 years.

    Hey, I spelled it out in black and white. Multi accolades - good, no accolades - bad.

    A death penalty? That would be murder.
    Firing on someone you don't know who is breaking into your home and you don't know if they mean violence or not is an altogether different thing especially when there were several buglers.
    If you're going to break into someone's home while they are there, I figure you're pretty much open to possible retaliation. Should it be children, that would be tragic but I would blame the parents.
    You'd think the homeowner would be careful that it wasn't a relative or close friend before hastily firing. Still, it's hard to blame the homeowner unless he did it just for retribution and not because he could hold the perps until police arrived.

    Wow. So what you are saying is that a far left group won more awards from their left dominated media peers than a right wing group like Fox did?

    Who would have ever ever ever guessed?

    Well, except me anyway.

    Nope. You're supposed to put your hands up and do what they say and hope they don't kill you.

    Who doesn't trust people who would break into your house in the middle of the night?

    What accolades did Fox News win? I count goose egg.
    Look, I can't help it if credible accolades tend to come from the Left. Perhaps the Left is onto something more factual than the Right. e.g. Global Warming, women's rights, treating people with respect, you know, the multitude of common decency that is taught in my mainstream church every Sunday. What would Jesus do? It's a good starting point.

    Some of you have a very low standard for wanting to kill and/or hurt people.

    My family is.....I am.

    I have no idea what your intentions are If you break into my house. My family means more to me than LITERALLY anything, and I will end anyone that threatens that

    You think losing your possessions are worth taking someone's life. I don't...

    Exactly my point. And it comes from fear...

    Why does it have to be one or the other?

    Lock your doors, you live in fear.

    Have insurance and its common sense.

    Well for me its common sense to lock my doors so it makes it harder for someone to break in and hopefully just move on. Why? Not because I fear the break in, because I don't want to have to deal with the reports and the attempt to get my things back, or have to go replace them (which I have never been given full value and has always cost me out of pocket).

    If someone is going to rob me and they have to break in, then I have cameras to catch them.

    @dviss1, remember I had someone break into our home and pass out and take a nap in our bed at our previous houses. Do you know how invasive that is? We had over 3k of items stolen and was given a check for $992.

    Its not about fear. Its not about wanting to go through the hassle of dealing with punks, even in an aftermath situation. To me, its common sense.

    Many people who go to rob you can also be capable of taking your life. Id rather not be put into the situation where I have to figure out if the person robbing me is of that kind or not, because it will be him first.

    I value all life and equality . Doesn't mean i'm going to let myself be put in a life and death situation without being ready to take a life myself.

    Quick question:

    Should the guy be killed by you or anyone else for what he did?

    Which guy? The guy who slept in our bed? No. Not in THAT situation.

    However. What if my wife had been home and the door wasn't locked? How do I know he wouldn't have tried to bring harm to her? Locking the door forced him to break a window, of which, if she was home, would have been heard and alerted her. Leaving the door unlocked and he could walk in virtually silently without her knowing.

    Common sense to me. Not fear fueled.

    I'm also not sure why it matters if I think he should die for what he did?

    Because that's the whole point. If someone broke I my house, I wouldn't think they deserved to be murdered.

    I know the world is full of people that would take when ever a fancy took their eye. The only thing stopping them is the knowledge it will not work, the price will be too high.
