Several years ago in my hometown of La Crosse, Wis, a young female college student surprised a burglar (not Black) in her apartment. He, the burglar, pulled out a gun and shot her to death.
Anytime someone breaks into your abode, the possibility of being killed by them is a possibility. Burglars deserve whatever they get.
Nietzsche described the ethos of our time: "There comes a time in the history of every people when they become so soft and tender that they actually side with those elements of their society that harms them; i.e. criminals" One actually reads in the press constant expressions of pity for the criminal whether express or implied. The poor homeowner who shoots a burglar in his home is de facto arrested, incurs onerous legal bills and runs a grave risk of being sent to a jury(wait till the juries are black, the judges are black, court reporters and clerks are black and the burglar was black.) Query-who is going to jail?
I meant to say....there’s a possibility of being killed by them. Sorry for the clumsy “possibility of being killed by them is a possibility.” well, duh....I’m getting old.
