    Good. If you try to break into someone else’s shit, you should reasonably expect to get shot at.

    In many other contexts this would be downvoted to oblivion on Lemmy.

      In many other contexts, this is fucking insane.

      Exactly right. If the article says “home owner shoots armed robber attempting to kidnap children” you’d have people losing their minds about guns and violence. Also people would be upset that the person owned a home…

      Yeah I’ve noticed :-( Lemmy overall seems much less tolerant of gun ownership or use of force than Reddit. Even when it is obviously justified.

      The headline could be, “Good Samaritan opens fire to defend disabled orphan POC child and her blind 3-legged rescue kitten from white supremacist pedophile rape gang” and half the comments would be how the stupid hick Republican ammosexual who wants more school shootings is so worthless he needs to carry around a lethal penis extender.

      But throw in a little criticism of government or police… Heh
