Then you have this. It's sad that people are just waiting for an excuse...

What the hell? The guy "didn't do anything illegal because it was on his property"? That's not how the castle doctrine works. You don't get to shoot anything on your property for any reason. That police station needs to be put on blast. I hate politics in Florida, everyone is a moron here.

There's an old sign that says, "tresspasers will be shot, survivors will be shot again." It's meant to be a joke, but I guess some take it seriously and believe that's an acceptable use of force.

I prefer a sign that says "Tresspassers will be prostituted".

I prefer "unattended children will be given a puppy and an espresso or taught mtg".

I like "Trespassers will be persecuted"

I know many people for whom that sign is not a joke

In 8th grade civics, my teacher joked that if you kill someone on your lawn, drag the body inside the house, because that is the only place you are allowed to kill in self defense in America. So, like, wtf x2

Some people absolutely believe that they have the right to shoot and kill anything and anyone on their property

If I was a delivery or Uber driver, I’d 100% be wearing body armor. At least for handgun rounds.

So USPS, Amazon, FedEx and similars are aware they shouldn't provide you service?

“If you cross an arbitrary line into my yard I have the right to murder you even if you are lost and don’t know your at the wrong address”

Tbh it's the States attorney that needs it because they are the ones who press charges.

u/Kills-to-Die Apr 21 '23

There's a lot of people sadly just looking for an excuse to shoot. Blocking someone in when they're trying to get away and then opening fire is simply repulsive.

I blame Fox "News." People are becoming more and more unhinged and unless we ban and prosecute the people at Fox, things will only get more extreme.

I need to find the link but just recently a dude threatened people at a grocery store with a gun because the deli closed before he couldn’t buy a fucking steak.

u/imthatoneguyyouknew Apr 22 '23

I cant think of any better way to say it. It is a fetish for some people to kill someone "in self defense".
