Because people should have the right to defend themselves and their things. Stealing and assault are not the basic human rights you want them to be.

- rwmj 3y ago> Stealing and assault are not the basic human rights you want them to be I think you may be replying to someone else, because I said no such thing.
- alphanullmeric 3y agoDo you believe I should be able to stop someone from robbing my house when police don’t do their job?
- avmich 3y agoLikely, but for which price?
- rwmj 3y agoI think it would be infinitely preferable if the police did their job. In Europe this works well, I can't see why it couldn't work in the US too.
- nicolashahn 3y agoIn the US, it's not the police's job. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_v._District_of_Columbia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_v._District_of_Columbia
- collaborative 3y agoIt may work well in certain European countries, but in certain others (i.e. Spain) the police will actually take the side of the criminal that's stolen your house and all your property within it as long as they can claim to have "resided" longer than 24 hours (a pizza delivery receipt is fine). You then have to sue, wait for up to 3 years to get a court order to "evict" the new occupiers, and be ok with losing everything you once owned. This is the result of going soft on criminals. Now there are organized crime syndicates that steal houses wholesale and "resell" the new keys for 1000 euros
