Do you really want laws to be formed primarily around individual feelings of threat?

If that’s the basis of the law, if a child enters your home without permission and you feel threatened you are allowed to take any force necessary to no longer feel threatened. Using that definition you could stab an 8 year old to death and be in your legal rights.

Would you then like to retract your statement that a b&e with a brandished weapon is “open season”? I definitely don’t take that as a nuanced take that is driving towards broader understanding.

You think my argument is not good fai to h because you’re incapable of drawing a line between excessive and reasonable force. If the law were to simply state that self defense is permissible in instances of home intrusion, how are the courts meant to differentiate? There was a case recently where someone literally woke up with a knife in their head, who managed to fight off their attacker, and send them fleeing from their property. The resident chased the intruder back to their car and proceeded to stab them to death. The courts ruled they went from being assaulted to bring the assailant and ended up guilty of murder. Do you disagree with this ruling? Do you think that any level of force is justified following an initial attack, even if that force does not end when an assailant backs off?

I’ve been playing it for two years and still find many ways to challenge myself in vanilla, let alone with all the mod content. Currently trying to beat the "pressure"map on hard without relocating. I’m sure it’s possible, but far from easy.

Maybe we can hope for a mini-nuclear winter!?

Honestly the replies of “if we can save a single life, our struggle will be worth it” are nothing if not funny in the face of the horrors to come, especially as their coming so we can collectively shove just one more burger in our faces.

Every passing day I get one step closer to just saying “fuck it” and becoming a hedonist while watching 90% of the world seemingly not give a single fuck about the future.

For Iran, the US, or everyone?

Is it then “open season” to capture and torture an intruder for months on end? How about a kid who loses their ball in your back yard then jumps the fence, bat in hand, to retrieve it? Still “open season”? How do we otherwise draw the lines between these examples and one where a knife is used in am act of desperation leading to the death of a violent intruder?

How is this not an even bigger budget crisis for the US Fed?

Terfs protecting women athletes, or, something?
