Where do you draw your line?

“they didn’t need to kill them. It’s just a house.”

Why is a car different? If you came in my house with a gun I’d shoot you as well.

Personally I don't believe anyone deserves to die over property. I especially don't believe the police should get to decide who dies.

The one using lethal force against me decided. When will you understand this? What, they have to pull the trigger first?

I'm not saying you can't defend yourself in these situations. What I'm saying is no one's life is worth a fucking car. If you think otherwise that's just sad.

This is backpedaling via a strawman. Literally no one has claimed or inferred otherwise. It’s always been about defending from aggression. But I will not feel bad for anyone that is killed who was using lethal force to take from others.

Personally I don’t believe you or any other citizen should get to decide what property of mine I will be allowed to keep.

I'm not sure what you're talking about, I said no one deserves to die over stolen property. I didn't say anything about what you are "allowed" to keep, whatever that means
