Yes, that poster is one of those who values a sorry lowlife criminal over law abiding, tax paying Americans . There are several of those who frequent this message board.

I like it when criminals are killed because it saves taxpayers money in court and prison costs. I wish all of them would commit suicide for the same reason. Keep a cyanide capsule in a glass case in every prison cell, labeled "Break glass in an emergency."

Some conceptions were mistakes, so when bad boys are killed it's akin to righting Nature's wrong.

I think it is terrible that a gun owner in his own home is forced to make a life and death decision to shoot someone that has invaded their home and is looking to hurt them or worse.

The innocent homeowner has to make a terrible decision to protect himself and loved ones from bad guys that made the conscious decision to make trouble.
In a situation like this the homeowner will be dragged through the criminal process despite being the good guy not to mention that he will think about those young men he killed for the rest of his life.

Right or wrong it is still terrible to kill someone whether they asked for it or not.

The grandpa of one of the dead boys was complaining it wasn't fair. Maybe he and the rest of his family should have taught that boy the difference between right and wrong and that it's totally unacceptable to invade someones home. When the homeowner kills young men it makes me especially happy because they had many more years of crime ahead of them. Plus they won't get to have children and pass on their criminal DNA to the next generation.
When a home invader who would kill someone to commit a crime is killed it is something to be happy about, because that person will never take a innocent persons life. But what about a home invader that would never kill another human being, does that home invader deserve to die?

And when people are kids and teenagers they do stupid things, like trespassing, doing dares and vandalism. Do non-violent 18 year old home invaders who are basically just being rebellious teenagers deserve to die?

And the purpose of a typical home invasion is to steal things. Have you, your friends or closest family members ever stolen something or trespassed on private property, and did they deserve to die for it?

Please. It takes a village. Parents are just one of many many inputs. Even BAD parents can raise law abiding kids if those kids have other good examples.

When it takes 2 parents working for most families to survive, we cut into the ability for parents to raise kids. Its far more about the society around them, then the parents when both parents are working.

Other fun fact? Its about the environment as well. Watch Flint Michigan crime rate. Removing lead from gasoline dropped our crime rate immensely-almost by half! Flints is going to go nuts.

There is a lot of factors. Blaming parents is a easy answer-and often wrong.

I certainly agree with the right to kill an intruder in your home.


However, I do not find joy in it, nor have any emotion save perhaps for being glad the homeowner is safe.


As for those that take pleasure in such, there is a psychological term for it: Schadenfreude.


It is a cousin to 'sadism'.

My law enforcement friends told me, "If you have to shoot an intruder, make sure you kill him. If you leave him alive, it's his word against yours. If he's dead, you are the only witness."
