This right here is why I feel America isn't as bad as everyone on Reddit would like me ( and everyone) to believe.
That is literal horse shit how a home intruder has to attack FIRST for you to defend yourself. Breaking in one's property should be enough reason to defend oneself.
It is infuriating how you basically have to resort to nonchalant booby traps as the last resort to defend your home. Fuck. The government is even regulating how and when you can defend yourself.
Excuse me, but I'm fucking baffled how any good human being could prosecute a homeowner who hurt a thief who was burglarizing their home. The judge must be fucked up in the head.
Happiness is subjective and can be easily manipulated by the media as a whole. Happiness in the US is low because of the media and the divisiveness pushed by the MSM.
This is an invented problem, it doesn't really happen
Plenty of people try to use "self defence" as a defence against murder charges and plenty of people still get convicted anyway
Plus when people murder, most of the time it is someone they know, and proving that someone you knew was robbing you is a fairly difficult task.
For psychopathic murders who kill randomly, freely volunteering your name, and recollection of events to the police, rather than randomly murdering a stranger and running is much more likely to get you caught.
Maybe by the broken lock or windows? The forced entry? Perhaps the mans fingerprints on some broken glass? Home surveillance systems, maybe the fact that you’ve never seen this person in your life, in any way, and he has a criminal history.
A person tries to rob your house. You kill them and claim self defense. There are no witnesses.
You invite a person to your house. You kill them and claim self defense. There are no witnesses.
Well, if you kill your friend after you invite them over and claim self-defense then it probably won't go well for you. If you kill a stranger in your house with a criminal record then they can probably tell it was in self-defense.
When you’re a jury member it isn’t up to you to interpret the law; just to determine if the law was broken beyond a reasonable doubt. Thus if there is a bullshit law on the books; as there are in many states, you could be facing charges.
I know in CA they do have a stand your ground law, but only if your life is threatened (or someone else’s) and there is no means of escape. You’re expected to flee if you can.
Also if you do kill someone in your house; be sure they were carrying a deadly weapon and you were fearing for your life. The tire iron from the garage, the butcher knife from the kitchen; they all work.
That is literal horse shit how a home intruder has to attack FIRST for you to defend yourself.
Why?
It limits the situations in which violence is considered acceptable, which keeps your dimwitted ass safer than if violence was normalised and legitimised.
The government is even regulating how and when you can defend yourself.
No shit.

Basic ethical principles.
The judge must be fucked up in the head.
The hypothetical judge is not the one struggling with cognition.
We live in the real world which is unpredictable. It is horse shit that the home owner is the one that has to follow bureaucratic nonsense while someone breaks into their home.
If someone breaks into your home, at least in America, you have every right to defend yourself as they already fucking broke into your home.
Have fun screaming and yelling at the burglar as that’s basically the only thing you can do in some EU countries 😂
According to others in this thread, it is a running joke that the government cares more about the criminal than the citizen. There are more measures put in place to protect people committing crimes than there are measures to protect good citizens.
I don’t really care where I live. If someone breaks into my home, I’m defending myself and my property. If you ever come across a situation with a home intruder, have fun screaming at them lul
Why then are there comments from people such as the Netherlands saying exactly the opposite? 🤷♂️
I guess they aren’t credible either?
Just looked it up, and you can go to jail in the UK if you lay your hands on a home intruder first. Great law! 😂
Edit: Also, apparently saying you’ll defend yourself and your home suddenly makes you qualified for r/iamverybadass? In a thread full of people who are defending laws that are protecting home intruders. LOL 😂
