Call the police? Hide? Hit them with a chair? Idk, there would probably be quite a few things I would come up with, even in a panic, than fucking shoot someome. Not to mention the obvious lack of guns anywhere nearby. Might be weird to you, but as i said cultural difference or something.
Not sure what you mean, but obviously I would intend to restrain them or knock them out or whatever, while not using any kind of intentional lethal force. Thats my whole point. Luckily never had to think about it, kinda my poiny of the initial comment.
Happy I am not anywhere near a place where this is considered normal and not intending to go there. But most gun owners are aware that one can be killed by guns right? Even if they don't fly away like in the movies? Weird concept to me to need 4-5 shots, but i guess i get the panic reaction if one thinks guns are normal.
Luckily, I don't intend that.
I didn't mean to come up as offensive to you or something, but it is icredible to me how shooting and killing someone is viewed as perfectly acceptable. That was my main point
Edit: on a second thought maybe i would indeed try some form of communication first? Like at least shout for them to freeze or whatever? Obviously i have no idea about the exact circumstances, but i guess its a form of "having a conversation" before shooting
Call the police when the rapist is already in your bedroom? You're smoking crack.
As far as it being incredible that shooting someone is viewed as acceptable? I'm sorry, but I have no problem with people using lethal violence to protect themselves from being killed or raped. And honestly, the world's better off without murderers and rapists walking around in it.
Insane that we live on the same planet but in different worlds. Sorry you have to live like this.
I completely agree, but thats not your call to make imo, less so in a panic situation. Call me crackhead, but i'm glad i am apparently in a fairytale world.
Where did you get the information that the intruder mentioned above intended to rape the guy that shot him?
