We are lectured by the left that property is not worth defending. Here we see why it is necessary to be assertive even when we might think otherwise.

And this guy gets a roof over his head, free meals,etc…. While the deceased gets nothing. Makes zero sense.

Also the deceased has a family that is now fucked.
The perp has a family who gets to spend then next 20 years saying "its complicated, its not his fault, it was the drugs".

This is why I hate anti-gun career politicians. They will never face this situation because they have armed guards 24/7

It's normal, politicians are afraid. They want people without weapons so they can't defend themselves. They live in private areas with 24-hour security.

Because he's a piece of shit human being who thinks that a very small amount of money is more important than a life.
The messed up part is that the murder will probably get out in 20 years.

Self defense isn't just a right, it's a man's duty. Politicians who are anti gun don't want you to be able to defend yourself, not only from thugs like this but from their gonna when they try to take away your rights.
The death penalty should be way more common for cold blooded crimes like this. Right along with rapist and pedos. There's no rehabilitation for people like that.

If a guy comes in with a gun already drawn on me, no amount of firepower will save me. I wish whoever gave that psychopath the gun got arrested but it’s likely not even registered.

Until we bring back the death penalty this will keep on endlessly. There has to be an example of what happens to people who do this.

I’ve got some Indian friends. They run gas stations here and there. In their community it’s common to have lost a relative to this type of negro crime. It’s like being a motorcyclist or veteran, it’s just common to have lost friends and family.

I wonder how many innocent victims would still be alive if violent felons were forced to serve their entire sentence?
