[@pj2345-v4x]

I'm only ten minutes in but the simplest way to put it is this: The one who breaks into your home assumes the risk. You, unaware of the risks, are in no position to evaluate those risks and make a sound judgment. You are very unlikely to have been fully prepared for such an uncommon and frankly stressful event. The way you respond under this stress is entirely non-negotiable because what the person stealing your shit is capable of is the only one with a full understanding or control of the situation. And despite that information, they chose to move through with their actions. They didn't find themselves there, they put themselves there. So it's less like you saying that you think your shit is worth more than their life as much as you aren't in a position to be held accountable at all, whereas they have made the decision that your stuff is worth more than their own life. THEY knew the risks and said yes, this is worth risking my life. Even if you made the argument that retreating is the moral answer, it still doesn't mean somebody who doesn't retreat would be held to your hypothetical moral standard. They are in the middle of a burglary, they aren't in the right mindset.

[@turtalia4537]

Exactly! I have no idea why I watched this whole thing when the women's argument basically is, "You should feel for the person breaking into the person's house."

if you really could hit a button and scan a burglar's brain when they enter your house, and you could determine they are not interested in killing, I'd not kill them. try to scare them off or hide, sure. but in REAL LIFE, you do not KNOW whether they are there to kill you, so I would NOT give them the benefit of the doubt, because that could be lethal.

[@AiguilleVoodoo]

This isn't the purge, people don't just enter your house to kill you. It would be unreeasonable to assume this. They want to steal your stuff for money. If you try to kill them your very likely to just escalate things into violence, and not even entering in other cases such as misfiring someone from your own family, mistaking someone for a burglar, etc. Just make sure the rest of your family is in security and try to avoid confrontation by running away or locking yourself up.

Idk if I’d compare it to something as traumatic and personal as rape, but it still fucked me up for a while. It makes me feel even worse that she never got caught. As she started to walk away I grabbed her arm and she flipped out and screamed “DONT TOUCH ME!!” and I looked so bad with all kinds of people standing around thinking I was the one violating her.

[@fungdark8270]

@@88feji I am absolutely in the school of thought that breaking in to an occupied home is a challenge to the lives of everyone involved. The stakes are not simply “possessions” it is at that very moment your very safety and the sanctity of your home, which is invaluable Occupants of the home would be correct to assume the worst intentions of the intruder, and the intruder would be right to assume the occupants intentions to defend themselves with deadly force. I can’t say exactly how I would react to specific cases, but if I was to shoot, it would be the center of mass, whatever that happened to present at the time. My concern is someone being victimized solely because they hesitate to act forcefully. It’s better that ten burglars die that would not have been violent than one innocent person be victimized that could have avoided it.

[@Mrmaytrics]

Wisti Johnston I think if an investigation is done into the crime, it should be possible to deem whether the person broke in to a property, and was killed for it, or it was a planned murder to look like an act of defense. I get where you are coming from, maybe there's a way to have the law cover more ground fairly but yeah. I'm not in favour of killing people in defense for breaking into your house 100%, I mean I live in New Zealand where guns aren't very common (definitely still a thing though) and the average burglar isn't gonna be carrying a gun, so defending yourself with a weapon to stop them, that doesn't kill them, is way better as an option.

[@WistiPurpleday]

Im 100% sure we agree then. I dont think you should take a armed robbery. Kill the cunts. But theft is not murder worthy. You have to asses the robbery or you dont you might have a mental thing where you are so scared you shoot on sight. But you dont get carl blanche for killing. We investigate why you killed a robber and then we find out if it was just, or you over reacted.

[@Mrmaytrics]

In full agreement, and in reference to what the guy above was stating about forfeiting rights by forgoing others rights is situational in severity. For instance, if someone forgoes my right to live by trying to kill me, it's fair to say they surrender their right to live also allowing me to respond and kill in defence, but if someone's stealing from me, I don't think that's forgoing my rights far enough to justify murder.

[@x4XDCX4x]

I disagree. She doesn't seem to understand the significance of not knowing the intent of a perpetrator. She concedes it but doesn't understand how hard it breaks apart her defense. The situation is that there is someone in your home and you do not know what they will do. You have the absolute moral right to protect yourself and those in your household with lethal force. Now if they are in your house and they announce "I am robbing you, but I will not harm you" then yeah maybe lethal force isn't justified, but that is so obviously absurd it hurts to imagine.

[@Spacejam420]

BlasterMaster that's absolutely not what Destiny said at all my dude? Again, did you listen to his reasoning or implant your own? He clearly said that in his morality he only has moral consideration for people who reciprocate the same social contract. He views breaking into his house as the intruder breaking that contract, therefore he loses all moral obligation to not kill that intruder. Like he clearly stated, they are offering themselves up to the absolute risk that they will be killed. There are things that can be done on both sides to reduce the risk of death, sure, but Destiny argues that the initial act is by the intruder (breaking into the house) and therefore they are responsible for whatever chain of events occurs. That by entering his property they have said they already do not respect that, so why should Destiny assume they'll respect HIS right to life? Both sides have ways to mitigate death, but the theif that initiates the situation by violating the homeowners rights had the ultimate choice to not enter the house. He's not arguing for the legal definition of self-defense, he's arguing for the morality of Castle Doctrine, the idea that you can kill someone for entering your house. I'd really like you to point out anywhere he actually said what you've said he did. Because he didn't say anything about "wanting" to kill them because of any emotional reason. He specifically said he doesn't want to kill anyone. He's making a moral argument, not an emotional one.

[@Spacejam420]

[@Paul-sr6zb]

someone committing home invasion is already desperate, dangerous or mentally unstable. This is not a question of morality, this is a question of safety. There is absolutely no reason to assume that someone breaking into your home in the middle of the night is not armed, or not intent on harming you or your family. This is simply a case of self defense on the part of the occupant. When I was a teenager, a guy broke into my family home in the middle of the evening, my whole family was home and about. The guy was on drugs, had wandered across town and had been walking into people's homes in the neighborhood taking purses, stuff just laying around. I literally walked into the dining room and came face to face with this guy, just standing there in the living room, picking up my mom's purse. He turned and bolted when he saw me. I chased him out of the house and down the street a while before losing him. I was in shock and did not think to try and get a gun in the house, but had I had it or the presence of mind to get it, I absolutely would have shot him and not felt bad about it.

[@Yutani_Crayven]

Cops should shoot mentally handicapped people on first sight. Their behaviour is erratic and cannot be predicted. Safety first. They should also shoot anyone they're questioning or detaining unless they're willing to strip naked, which is the only way to ensure beyond any doubt that the person is not armed. Safety first.

[@BigmanDogs]

+ playgrrrr I disagree with you. You have a very inhumane outlook on life. OP is on the other hand completely spot on! For real though, I don't know if you're a troll acting as a caricature of a social liberal... but you should probably look up with straw-manning and the slippery slope is. Shooting an inherently violent intruder is not the same as shooting someone who is already detained. Breaking into someone's house is inherently violent just like rape etc. and it justifies violent defence. If I was you I would start straw-manning and say that you think rapists should be allowed to rape without the fear of being shot or attacked by their victims. So think about that before you use those tactics on others.

From her point of view it would not be right for the home owner to use lethal force therefore the thief is not putting himself in danger. I agree with you and Destiny that if you break into a house the possibility of you being killed for that is a risk you are taking.

[@ED-cl7nl]

That's actually a really good conversation, they completely got to the bottom of their philosophical difference here. Props to Destiny for identifying it at 1:00:10. So basically it comes down to rights being seen as something that only exist reflexively, that is : "I recognise your rights if you recognise mines", VS" rights as intrinsic to the human person". But I think Destiny is wrong in the sense that both of these claims are compatible with the descriptive claim that "rights only exist as a social construct and are not natural by any means". I think saying "rights are social construct" does not entail "rights only exist when they are reciprocated". That's bridging the is/aught gap. Rights can very well be social constructs from a descriptive point of view, and viewed as intrinsic to a human moral person from a prescriptive point of view. That's what Human rights are. Once you recognise that, the conversation only comes down to what kind of moral system you have overall. PS sorry if my English is bad, not my 1st language.

Breaking and entering could just be a desperate individual seeking food, or it could be a fatal home invasion where you're left tied up and beat, or other various violent things. Breaking and entering isn't always the worst thing in the world, but there is a chance that it could be. Would you be willing to risk your family's lives on the good intentions of someone who's already made the decision to take everything from somebody else? Why would they stop at your valuables?

Confrontation would be more dangerous that shoring up the defences of a particular room and having called the police.

If they don't reciprocate then absolutely go ahead and pop 'em, rather than just killing them without hesitation.

As for possessions being extensions of ones autonomy. That has tough implications. Does that mean if I steal your pencil or paper clip that I should die. Or (since corporations are considered entities, in the same way people are) if you steal a stapler at work can they hunt you down? Or is a pencil not valuable enough? In which case, it becomes an argument about what one participant considers valuable. To some people, a mug that their parent gave them before passing away is more valuable than their car -- which means the argument of 'because it's my stuff' slithers away from even the mere pretense of objectivity and goes straight to the personal.

@@TheWallethead it would be unfortunate to have to kill anyone, however I promise you I would sleep perfectly soundly at night knowing that I had saved a family member's life, or protected them against being maimed by some piece of garbage. As said before, there are some people who are just out to kill and murder. The moment that they step into my house uninvited, especially while armed, and bringing a few of their buddies, they have already made the decision that they are willing to do anything including causing grievous bodily harm to myself and my family, therefore I will not shed one tear for a piece of garbage wiped off the face of the Earth. this is the reality of life, there are evils that cannot be dealt with except with force. You can either come to this conclusion yourself and be prepared to have to deal with this if it ever comes to that, but avoid it at all cost. Or you can just forfeit your life and your family's life into the hands of someone else and hope for the best, but in that case I feel bad for your family.

[@arkboy100]

I fully agree with Destiny on this. Maybe it's because I have personal experience with someone trying to break into my family's house in the middle of the night when I was 14 years old, but the emotional and psychological damage it does is horrible. The main point I think is that your putting you life and/or your physical health in the hands of this person who is breaking in. You dont know whether they are just a petty thief and just want to take a few things and run without physically hurting anyone, or if they are a hardcore criminal which will assault/murder you without a thought if they find out you are awake and might impede them in stealing things; or even if they're someone breaking in solely with the purpose of murdering you.

"..your putting you life and/or your physical health in the hands of this person who is breaking in.." No you arn't, you lock yourself in a room and call the police. Don't grab a gun and think you are a cowboy and attack the person.

If you can make the leap, it actually is also an indirect violation of your bodily autonomy. By taking things of value that you had to earn via your labor, the thief is, in an indirect way, making you perform your labor FOR THEM against your will.

She speaks like someone who has never been seriously threatened or had to contact the police.

[@hueyfreeman4366]

So she’s arguing that you should consider the thieves morals when protecting your property? The thief is obviously immoral. You don’t reward immorality with consideration. For example, since the topic is stealing, what if a country decides to steal another countries natural resources? Should the defending country consider the morality or lack of morality of the offending country? This is an act of aggression worthy of declaration of war. The goal is to kill the people or person who decided to steal. You don’t respond to intolerance with tolerance. You do respond to immorality with morality. These people have given up all consideration for decency.

[@1000aaronaaronaaron]

Rocket Scientist "theyre obviously immoral" this id inherently flawed. They could have been forced to do such a thing whether it be by someome immoral or by their situation in life where they have drugs offences that stops them from getting jobs and they feel they need to take someone's tv to get money for that month's rent. Maybe they felt the rent was more important than morals and they feel extremely bad about what theyre doing but they're doing it hecause they feel they need to. Saying they're automatically immoral is bizarre

[@Peshuo]

@@1000aaronaaronaaron still not an excuse to do something immoral to someone else. Someone else's problem does not become yours.

[@1000aaronaaronaaron]

@@Peshuo that made no sense. Be in a position where you have no way to make money except for stealing and you need to pay rent and then we'll talk

[@Peshuo]

@@1000aaronaaronaaron how does that not make sense? For example they're barging in my house why should I care if they're desperate/ have no money? How is that my problem? I can understand your last argument where calling them immoral right away is bizarre but even then in my opinion most people that try to go steal stuff from people's houses are usually criminals.

[@1000aaronaaronaaron]

@@Peshuo it doesn't have to be your problem. Nobodies problems ever do. Just depends how selfish or selfless you are. Not saying being completely selfless while being robbed is what needs to happen.

[@slimthecatdad]

I feel like she is missing the point that the perpetrator sacrifices their own life in these scenarios. Knowing that a result is death, they still break in to a house. Also she keeps talking about it's wrong putting value on life but literally the state already does that... so I dont own a gun, I wouldn't kill someone who broke into my house. But I dont think it's wrong to do so either.

[@operatorlink]

so every criminal counts as forfeiting their life when they commit a crime? So pickpocket picked you wallet, boom you have the right to shoot and kill him. A homeless guy shoplift from a store, boom kill him on the spot. Some teen stole you hood ornaments, death. There are many course of action you could take besides killing the person. Take note of the intruder's appearance and report to police, have security camera and alarms around your house, have house insurance, if you have a gun call the police first and hold the intruder there till the police arrive.

[@Sapreme]

[@mcyg2079]

@@operatorlink no every criminal is forfeiting their life when they commit a very serious crime against a person. If this intruder enters your life how do you know he aint gonna murder your family? The police is irrelevant cos they will never get there in time. You can shout or whatever but to be safe i'd just shoot them because your family and the stuff you have worked for is being threatened

[@johnmorris8444]

She fails to wrap her head around the fact that the person breaking in is an autonomous being and the home owner isn’t taking their right to life, the person breaking in is forfeiting it at the door. Also this mislabeled, it’s not a burglary it’s a home invasion.

[@mrsoul680]

burglary is breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony. how is home invasion different?

@@johnmorris8444 the law doesn’t make that distinction. Home invasion isn’t a legal term in any state I know of.

[@johnmorris8444]

@@mrsoul680 it’s common parlance for a robbery taking place in your home. Burglary is when no one is present or you are attempting to enter and exit undetected like there’s 24 hour security or something. Robbery is when victims are present and alert to the crime taking place. A burglary can turn into a robbery if the home owners wake up for instance.

[@johnmorris8444]

@@mrsoul680 actually I just looked up home invasion and it’s classified as breaking into a persons home with violent intent as opposed to just theft.

[@justinp9170]

"They may see it as a none violent act" That's completely irrelevant. On a scale from completely minor (like mistaking someone else's home for yours and decide to break in) to the most severe outcome of breaking into a residence (like breaking in with the intent to rape and kill the family) there's no time to determine a person motives.
