So you're going on about the need to shoot trespassers and other property criminals because "ZOMG I AM THE LAST BEST HOPE FOR MY NEIGHBORS" and then admit this is a scenario that virtually never occurs outside your power-trip wet dreams. Nice.
Uh, no, I'm not going on about that at all. I specifically said I don't expect or want this to ever happen. The very first time I brought it up. Subsequently, I argued that, in the unlikely event that it did happen, it's completely ethical. I'm not the last best hope for my neighbors anyway: we're all the last and only hope for each other. That's what a community is.
What if somebody broke into your outbuilding because they're homeless and are looking for a place to not die in the elements? What if they stole a blanket off a clothesline? Is that a shooting offence?
You want my honest answer? Yes. Being homeless doesn't give you the right to take from others. Of course I know other people will disagree. This is fine with me. I don't expend emotional effort caring about things outside my control; it's a waste of time and just makes people unhappy.
So, would you say that the police have lost their rights to social expectations? Because I hear that they've been inflicting stressful situations on others for a while now.
I feel like it's completely obvious that the answer to this is yes. Police, in fact, don't even have an inherent right to "social expectations" because they've
chosen to put themselves in a position of pretended authority.
I'm quite glad to live in a world where the police don't give a shit about us and took six hours to show up the only time I've ever witnessed them being called in. Outside authority can go fuck itself, as can law.
