Re: Would you kill a man who\'s robbing you? (long)
[ QUOTE ]
Hell no I would shoot someone for jacking my [censored]. Jesus Christ, its a few hundred dollars. What [censored] point would there be to shoot him? Oh my god, my gamecube! Die [censored]! No. [/ QUOTE ] i wouldnt shoot someone for the theft. im shooting someone for threatening my life. i dont care if he comes in and steals a gamecube or doesnt steal anything. he has cajones to break into the house, we're now isolated in my bedroom and hes wielding a knife. i dont want to give this person the leverage and leave it up to him to dictate whether he just wanted to scare me w/ my life so i wouldnt give him any trouble or he's actually going to act upon it. the consequences are literally deadly for me and i dont want to leave it up to him to decide this. bwana

If you had a gun you wouldn't need to kill him. You could just shoot him in the crotch.

Re: Would you kill a man who\'s robbing you? (long)
Thats pretty crazy.
Rationally (not in the situation), if you had a gun, I would see no reason to shoot him. If you pull it out while he is going through your stuff you are in control. You can tell him to get on the ground, etc, etc, holler for your roommates, call the cops, etc. If he makes any sort of aggressive move towards you then shooting him is, of course, perectly reasonable. However, in situations like this you cannot be expected to act rationally.

Unfortunately, it's their opinion that counts.

Re: Would you kill a man who\'s robbing you? (long)
im not a fan of guns since stats show guns in the house are more likely to injure/kill someone they're not intended for rather than protect the home. i think the only way i would have one is if i lived by myself so if i heard someone in my house i knew no one else should be there.
having said that if someone enters my home i take them as a threat to my personal safety. i dont know what the person is looking for, what weapons he's carrying, and what he is capable of doing. id shoot to kill for my safety. in your situation if he's already threatened my life w/ a weapon id be even less hesitant to shoot to kill. that's my answer sitting at my computer. put in the real situation i dont think my answer would change. bwana
