I’m a Canadian, so you can guess how many people I talk to have trouble grasping that concept. They think that you should retreat or cower from armed robbers, and that those armed robbers are just poor, misunderstood folks who come from broken families and poor socio-economic backgrounds and blah blah blah. I don’t know what’s wrong with them that they can’t see that someone sticking a gun or a knife in people’s faces for money is threatening bodily injury or death, and that whatever happens to them they have coming to them. What the heck is wrong with them?

I think that it’s part of the general dissolution of Christianity in our society. The libs get bits and pieces of the old morality, but they have no way of integrating it into a functional whole. So, we get monstrosities like no death penalty ever and the criminalization of self defense and the suicide pact legal system.
