    I don’t know where you people get this absurd idea that “I won’t go to jail if I can show I acted in self-defense.” Since when! Don’t you even listen to the news? People who keep trying to invoke that ridiculous “stand your ground” defense keep losing in court. Every one of them has gone to jail for committing murder.

    You are deluding yourself in a very dangerous way. And if you aren’t even intelligent or worthwhile enough of a person to see how murder will destroy you no matter what - then you aren’t someone I have any interest in continuing to talk to.

      Don’t you even listen to the news?

      You mean the shows that try to scare us for profit with stories based on real events?

        Obviously no I don’t mean that. I mean actual credible news sources, not Fox news. Even in die hard red states such as mine, there are unbiased sources of news. And what could qualify as more fake than trying to scare people with stories claiming that people are going to break into your house and rape you if you don’t own a firearm.

          No, there are no unbiased sources of news.

          And what could qualify as more fake than trying to scare people with stories claiming that people are going to break into your house and rape you if you don’t own a firearm.

          I don’t have a news platform, I’m not profiting from instilling this fear in others, I’m not even trying to scare anyone – it’s a personal feeling to which I am entitled.

            Your personal feelings definitely reveal marked cynicism and pessimistic nature. To see everything as biased must be a difficult way to go through life, but unfortunately there are many overly biased people who share your perspective.

              Being naive enough to think unbiased news exists must be bliss.
