Good. If you try to break into someone else’s shit, you should reasonably expect to get shot at.

In many other contexts this would be downvoted to oblivion on Lemmy.

In many other contexts, this is fucking insane.

Why? Serious question. I'm getting down votes, if you disagree, then please engage and tell me why?

I’ve noticed a significant correlation between people who reject all contemplation of violence as ethical behavior, and those who refuse to engage in debate with those holding differing beliefs about ethics.

Well said.

In the words of Aristotle, "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

Lot of not very educated minds in the world these days :(
