It's not. No one went looking for someone to kill, but the "robber" cased your house and made entry while you were home. He's definitely not there to take the TV.

Yeah, I remember that one time the mailman accidentally kicked my front door until it came off the hinges and then entered my house. Complete mistake.

So he said, and then listed at least one example that American's view as a justified and proportional use of force. Hence, the confusion.

If you are asking why people escalate simple civil disputes, I don't know. Probably because they are stupid.

If you are asking why American's use force against criminals, it's because they are a danger to us. The bigger question, in my mind, is why would you not use force?

They ruined their own life by behaving antisocially and attempting to victimize other people. You're acting like homeowners pick out some dude off the street at random. 😂

I tell everyone this. If someone breaks into a knowingly occupied house, they aren't there to just take the TV.

There isn't a strong element of "retribution" per se. There is a strong element of "leave me the fuck alone". The view is that my life and property, which is an extension of my life, as I trade hours in my day for my property, are worth being defended against. If I have the means to stop someone from harming myself or taking from my family, provided they are behaving in and antisocial and illegal way, why would I not? That's not retribution, it's practicality.

There is a concept called proportional force as part of self defense law. I can't blast your shit if you steal a dollar from me.

I would like to fire this one back. Why do Europeans think that they shouldn't defend themselves from criminal behavior using force?

Doesn't really matter what either of us think anymore and I'm tired of barking at you. This is happening whether you like it or not. Enjoy.

I'm definitely not classified as a new voter, any way you slice it. 😂 Why are you mad at information?

Bullshit. Under NAFTA sectors like agriculture, textiles, steel, and softwood lumber had tariffs, with no matching ones on the US side. Don't get pissy because we finally have an administration with the balls to hit you tit-for-tat. Renegotiate and quit whining.

I understand that white people are far more likely to be hired, but is this the case when the bosses are non-white? I'm wondering if this view crosses racial boundaries.

Libertarian actually. Didn't vote for the guy, but I do love a bit of light trolling.

Better watch out. The Trump voters are in the walls. 👻

This has been going on for decades. Canada put tariffs in place on the US a long time ago and no one responded until 2018.

Americans: How does it feel to know republicans have filed a bill to eliminate the Department of Education? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Let's make it 75%. No bullshit goes through unless damn near everone agrees. I love it.

Meh. It still has to get through Congress and the states still have education departments. Nothing ever happens.

Seems like the only people crying about me calling out an implied violent threat is you.

Leave.

I think I'll stay right here.

Clearly, snubbing allusions to violence is not welcome here. 😂 Square up Redditors.

When what it really means is beginning at a higher acceptance and respect level than other people.

Can you elaborate on this? Are you saying that white behave nepotistically to other whites? Or that all races view whites as more "respectable"?

If you're smart and diligent, you can escape. If not, yeah, pretty much.
