Comment by capital@lemmy.world on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic

In civilized countries “self defense” means you might have to punch someone.

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.

Who is “the stronger” in a situation where you have a gun and someone else does not?

Me.

And my wife, and daughter. People that, without the use of arms, will always be the weaker given it’s usually men who commit these crimes.

You’re missing the point - this tool takes physical strength out of the equation for self defense purposes and you’re acting like it’s a bad thing.

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.

What I mean is you participated in the military, therefore more likely to have skewed values in favour of “extended” srlf defense. Because the whole military justifies its endless butchery on rights of self defense and their ceaseless expansion.

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

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

People should be confined to boxes full of packing foam. This reduces the variable and permits police to control the situation more easily.

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.

I’m expecting you to not be a fucking enraged ape

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”.

There’s also laws governing what constitutes theft. Your entire argument about needing a gun is dependent on people not following the law.

Yeah the people stealing shit are… different people and not me?

What is your point?

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.

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