Here's what pissed off the chat room last week.

I stated that if someone came in to my house, broke in, I'd shoot em dead without any rise in blood pressure.

In fact, I'd empty the clip, and get em in the knees first.

Now, here's why.

The last house I lived in was in a good area. The next door neighbours were three college students. Good girls. Sweet girls. They were Christian, but that was fine, they weren't the judgmental type, they were decent, wonderful people.

I wake up one day and wonder what the hell the flashes are going on around the house.

I see a forensics team working over the house next door.

So I go over asking WTF is going on, after all these people are our friends.

I was told in no uncertain terms everyone's OK, and to fuck off.

No they weren't OK.

Some guy broke in, tied them up, and then took one away into the next room and raped her savagely, repeatedly. Then he stayed in the house, eating their food, leisurely waiting to be ready to go again before going back and raping her.

He took off just before dawn.

Not only did they move out (they never went back to the house), it was a serious strain on the relationship between her and the fiance she'd been saving herself for. He wasn't a prick or anything about it, but even in the most loving and wonderful relationships, trauma like that has SOME effect. And then there's the waiting a month to see if you're pregnant, and three months to see if you now have AIDS.

Turns out he'd done this before. A few times. Forensics didn't find jack. The news blamed them for being raped, said they'd left the door at the back unlocked, and the police would LIKE TO REMIND EVERYONE TO DO THAT. This was categorically UNTRUE. I saw how he got in. It wasn't difficult, it was being illuminated with flash bulbs.

They caught him three rapes later. Seems he fell asleep on a couch and the 14 year old was able to get away.

Noone's tying me up. Noone's hurting my loved ones.

I live in between two contested gang territories. Suffice it to say if someone's in my house at 3 am, he ain't gonna be delivering pizza. And next year, after the divorce, where I'll be living will be MUCH MUCH worse (poorer area = scarier area).

So no offense, but yeah, it's gonna be a clear cut case of self defence, and you will be taken down. But you won't be taken down cleanly, you fuck.

And so that's why, sweetness, I had a problem with you calling me a monster for wanting to perform a simple act of probable pest control. Until you or someone around you is a victim, you maintain this liberal mentality that people are decent. You learn real quick that not only are people bastards, the police don't give a shit and the courts slap em on the wrist.
