Front page of cnn.com right now.

Prosecutors alleged that Hayes and Joshua Komisarjevsky invaded the Petit home in Cheshire, Connecticut, on July 23, 2007, beat Dr. William Petit, raped and strangled his wife, molested one of the daughters and set the house on fire before attempting to flee. Hayes also forced Jennifer Hawke-Petit to go to a bank to withdraw money from a bank account.

Rubber bullets and reasoning with the criminal "victims" for the win!!!!

Maybe I should just go buy an air soft gun that looks like a real gun cause that will protect me and my family.

Um, you know rubber bullets don't feel like paintballs, right? Do you know anything, or do you just act like a jackass for the sake of entertainment? If you get shot with a rubber slug from a shotgun or even a pistol, it's gonna hurt, bruise and swell like a mother ****er. Your stance is to shoot to kill first and then not care who it is that you shot or if they were even armed. Yes, that's a good idea...

Somebody provides an alternate solution to protect themselves, other than "kill whoever it is by shooting them dead", and they get criticized. So, I maintain my stance. Users on this forum are a complete joke.

Quite the insult to fling for taking the stance that shooting a home invader is okay.

Wait, what? I actually was providing alternates to that. Once again, a complete joke.
 
If this site is a complete joke, Unlucky, why don't you leave? Take your taser and rubber bullets with you too. We don't want them.
 
Isn't there a statistic (or maybe it's just one of those urban myth numbers-game) that says that the majority of home burglars are high when they do their deed?

That being said, how can you assume that turning on the porch lights and flashing the steel barrel in the light will scare them off?

Although I agree that that should be done first (turn on a few lights and announce yourself and the fact that you are armed), you should also err on the side of caution and prepare to defend yourself, your family, and your property.

Was everything done correctly in the story? Probably not. But I do have more sympathy for the home owner than the would-be intruder.

If you were a foremost authority on the site, I would leave. Fortunately, there's an ignore feature and the fact that I now have like 12 users on my list is pretty ****ing sad.

Also, nice fail on responding to anything I said. Don't bother arguing anything if you can't provide reasoning behind your arguments. Tard.
 
Wow. I guess I knew this thread was going to turn into a shouting match. You go girls!
 
I can't accept any opinion that isn't mine!!! I'm an Americun!

If you're at a point when someone breaks into your home where you feel you need to fight to protect yourself, I say shoot to kill. Why take any chances? What if you shoot someone with a rubber bullet and he shoots you with a real bullet? How you gonna tase someone who shoots you? Cops are taught that if they use their gun, shoot to kill. I agree. If you have to use a weapon for your protection, use it to terminate the threat.

Here's how effective rubber bullets are.

"We cannot tie Steven Hayes to a bed, pour gasoline on him and set him on fire," Dearington said, referring to the killings. "But under our laws, we do have the death penalty."

It's people like Steven Hayes that make me feel a lot more comfortable about what I think.

It all comes down to: Stay the **** out of people's houses if you don't want to get shot. It's not that hard of a principle to abide by.
 
Last thing I'm going to say (unless I decide to say something more later) is that in the real world there are choices and there are consequences. Some people on this board think that people should be able to do whatever they want with zero consequences. In this case the would be intruder clearly chose to try to break into someone's home, at which point the consequences of that decision were taken out of his control. Unfortunately he paid dearly for his poor choice, but to sit there and say that he is the victim is really screwed up. Had he not chose to go on his little spree (whatever his intentions were) two lives would be very different today.
