No, its self defense.

In civilized countries “self defense” means you might have to punch someone. “You should have an easy way to kill someone on you at all times, and keep it hidden so they don’t know” is not self defense, but clear signs of a dystopia.

My back is fucked and have an 80% rating from the VA. I’m not getting into fist fights anymore.

If someone gets blown away stealing shit, the world has become a better place, frankly.

“Property is more valuable than human lives.”
A statement from a person in a developed country apparently…

“The strong should be allowed to do whatever they want to the weak” A statement from a person in a developed country apparently…

You’re the one touting strength through arms here…

And without one, the stronger will always prevail over the weak. I can’t believe I need to spell this out.

Try “A government should take care of its citizens.”

I truly hope the police reach you in time, every time.

Uh, no. There are quite a lot of laws governing when deadly force is allowed which vary by country and state. I’m quite sure none of them allow it when someone “bothers you”.

Well he has a VA rating. Turning human bodies into rotting meat piles is his way of life.

There are a lot of disingenuous replies in this comment section but I’ll just go on explaining as if you actually don’t understand.

The rating comment was meant to demonstrate that I am not at my peak physical condition and am more vulnerable than my outward appearance portrays.

You’re talking about things like it’s obvious they are just important as lives. Fucking disgusting

You’re expecting me to value people who steal shit.

And before this goes in a disingenuous direction, no, I don’t mean stealing bread from a damn grocery store.

Fascism is so normalized :(

Fascism is when you don’t let people steal your stuff.

The word has been devalued on Lemmy but this is a new low.

I was referring to summary execution of a thief being a good thing.

No, being limited in self defense to the power of your body is a pre-civilized state. Asking women to punch people to defend themselves is nature rules. That’s where whoever’s biggest gets to take advantage of people.

I have no problems with people carrying mace for self defense. There are highly effective less lethal options.

Especially when it causes law enforcement to become so paranoid of the citizens they’re ostensibly meant to protect, that a mere hailstone landing on the car roof immediately causes them to believe they’re being fired upon.

That just sounds like a terrible time for everyone involved.

At that point, you’re basically turning the constabulary into soldiers.

If citizens have a “Constitutional Right” to have a gun, why does exercising the right so often result in law enforcement killing them without a trial?

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
