Intruder

What a psychopath. Anyone wanna bet he becomes a cop?

How about don’t break into someone’s house?

From 2016 ... lets talk about the child that just killed their family/sibling/neighbor/school with daddy's gun, too.

Which one from the last month, you ask ? Doesn't matter ... pick one.

Man, it's amazing how much of The Onion is reality now.

Most of this thread falls into two categories of people -

Shooting someone, under any condition, and not pouring you heart out for the person = psychopath

People who do illegal things are not actually people, please more authoritarianism

It is pretty obvious that almost no one, commenting here, has been in a situation where your life is truly being threatened, after your safety has been violated, and people who do not understand the how, and why, of criminal behavior. Yet they are all making very self-assured, absolutely black and white logic, statements as if they are the herald of truth.

I understand that it's self defense, but does it feel weird to anyone else how comfortable a kid is with killing another person?? He doesn't seem to have much remorse.

A world where a kid can remorselessly shoot someone. Isn’t that great. DGAF if the guy “deserved” it or not for breaking in.

These kids are our future.

Ok…. Can this trend on news site die crying like a baby too?!??

Doesn't look like a dancer.

Isn't this basically the plot of "Home Alone" and it's very popular sequels playing out with a firearm? With FPS games as the cultural backdrop, why is anyone shocked at this? Or is this just hand-wringing?

I mean good but is no one worried about the kid not having any issues with taking someone's life? Maybe I'm missing out on some extra pieces of info, but it is a bit concerning even if it is an intruder.

If you break into a home you get what you deserve and that includes insults and\or deletion.

Imagine living in a society so deeply fucked up that some people feel the need to become burglars and others feel the need that attacking them with deadly weapons is the only option.

And then imagine that this is celebrated.

Oh well...

cant believe the amount of people feeling bad for the intruder

like, do you also feel bad if a nazi gets punched?

So many dumbasses who think Professor Barclay is being serious. It's a joke. The guy did not die. It's dark humor.

After visiting some crime scenes etc ... I know there is a human factor to both sides ... Victim, criminal etc. But I just do not feel that much sympathy towards the criminal anymore. They had a choice. This time they chose poorly. Breaking into a house in any of the red states is Russian roulette. This time he just chose the loaded cylinder.

ITT: people who actually think this is real

Clearly very overweight, shoots people and thinks he's in the right. How very American.

sooooo... does this mean he's becoming the school's quiet kid or not ?

Life is cheap in the red states.

Get yourself to safety and call the cops

Based kid murdering an attacker

Lol at Lemmy crying like babies because the kid defended himself LMAO 🤣

And then you want to toot your own horn by owning guns to threaten republicans kjjjj

I'd say you guys are disconnected with reality but these comments just make you all look unhinged
