Honestly if someone breaks into my house they'll be getting a cup of tea and a blanket. Robbery must be an awful way to make a living. They're probably in a life of abuse and addiction.
Yes, I'm a total psycho, I already know this.
- trabant00 5y agoNo, you are a clueless idealist who never spent time with actual home robbers.
- Majestic121 5y agoThat sounds like the stance of someone that never had to go through a robbery on the wrong side of the weapon
- kristopolous 5y agoI have many times. About 20 years ago someone who had previously robbed me at knifepoint ran into me, recognized me as someone he knew and I was able to convince him that we played on a sports team together as children. I bought him lunch and we stayed in touch. At the time I had aphorisms on my bathroom mirror. My favorite one was "I need not convince that humanity is necessary, only that it's possible"

- dang 5y agoPlease don't do this here.
- emerged 5y agoI really hope you never have to learn how misinformed that stance is.

- kristopolous 5y agoEverything we do has risks and what-ifs. What if you come out with a baseball bat and the thief has a gun? What if you come out with a gun and there's a second thief that you don't see and he fires first? What if you come out and fire at the "burglar" and it turns out to be your neighbor's drunk teenager walking into the wrong home or police doing a no-knock warrant on the wrong address? There's always risks. The actions you take and the risks you choose to be guided by are entirely a function of the deep values you actually hold and act on.
