I don’t see why you would get that excited over someone getting killed
I'm not excited over that. I'm excited that the homeowner was able to protect himself and was not harmed by the intruder.

Wouldn't it be better to never see that because people weren't engaging in criminal activity? If you love seeing a good castle doctrine, doesn't that imply you love seeing criminal activity that allows a person to kill someone?
I have no issues with what the homeowner did, but the fact that a 25 year old made such poor choices in his life that he is now dead is nothing worth celebrating.
The few people I have known who had to justifiable take a life did not celebrate the necessity of having to do so, quite the opposite, the regretted they had no choice but to do so though they had no regrets taking that required the action.


I mostly agree with you. Killing shouldn't be celebrated. I honestly wish the young man had been told by enough people, that one can have a relatively comfortable life by following three rules:
- get a H.S. diploma (and/or SOME marketable skill)
- don't get anyone pregnant until you are married (or at lease somewhat ready, financially)
- DO NOT commit crimes

Instead, he was likely fed a steady SJW-backed diet of "whitey be bad" and thus he undoubtedly made his choices based on a misunderstanding on what is important and what is, at best, peripheral.



I appreciate the logical response and I do think we mostly agree. No doubt, an intruder who is shot by the rightful occupant of a house, apartment, etc. gets what is coming to him. It's right but not the best of outcomes, which is the perp decides not to commit the crime.

The approach to addressing the problem by most SJWs does nothing to move us toward the preferred outcome, probably because the leaders of the movements know they profit more by the status quo.

How about this: what if you think the homeowner had every right to defend his home, and you think it is trashy to still celebrate a death?

I'm not excited about a death but the guy got what was coming to him if he's breaking into people's homes. And there's about a 99.9% chance this wasn't his first time but it was definitely his last time. But seriously RIP

s there any states that doesn't allow you to shoot the intruder in the back if they are fleeing?


I’m no expert, but if they are fleeing, and if they are outside of your home, and if you shoot them anyway, then some states will charge you with manslaughter at the least.

There is a pharmacist in Oklahoma who is serving life w/o parole because he killed an armed robber.

Apparently there is no line to OT tards between celebrating a death/wanting a homeowner to run and abandon his family



Like a woman, an emotional part of you cannot see that we are not celebrating death at face value. What we are doing is rejoicing the removal of the scum who decided it would be a good idea to invade another man's home.

We men, can see these actions with logic and are not clouded by emotion like you. We realize that this a-hole's genes have been taken out of the pool.

Life will always contain assholes like in the story, but it's people like you that have some emotional tie that will vilify taking out pieces of shite that really and truly should have never been born anyway.

If we as a society started cleansing the pool of murderers, rapists, pedophiles, burglars, etc. our society would actually have a proliferation of good genes and not fricked up ones.

For some reason, you cannot see that this was a win for the good guys. Your emotions are blinding you. Good job, lady.

You have a good man. I've always told my kids and nieces and nephews that. In my own long winded fashion

Never point a gun at someone unless you intend to shoot them. Never shoot someone unless you intend to kill them.

Home burglars lives matter.

The problem is you don't know if they're in your house to steal your stuff or to rape and murder. You have to assume the worst.

All in good fun. I actually agree with the point, but it's the OT and those people are strangers, that's why it's celebrated here.

The yay is that someone protected their life and property from attack

Sad that he died, but that is the risk that was taken.

Well it would be kind of nice if they managed to stumble back out the door first and not make such a damn bloody mess inside other than a few drips on their way out for verification that you shot them inside. Have you ever seen the pool of blood anything over 80 pounds can make...I'd want to sell my house after that. Motha f'ers should at least have the sense and decency to realize when you fricked up and do one last good thing before death, which is go bleed the frick out, outside.

I for one am not celebrating a death, but am glad to see the second amendment and the right to self defense upheld when there are thousands of liberals who are actively trying to take those things away.

Yep.

Bottom line, if you are a gun owner, you have to know the laws where you live. If you live in Vermont, then you should hide if there is an intruder. In Texas, fire away.
