LOL!

What a terrible blog post. I wrote this when I was extremely mad after being broken into & robbed... Doh! Foolish.

I understand you're angry and everything, but just saying: shooting a man for stealing your stuff is not self defense. Theft is a terrible thing, but there's a reason they don't give people the death penalty for it. Would you rather be without your car, or without your freedom for a whole bunch of years?

If you can't handle feeling "helpless" because of this, I'd be very intrigued how you'd handle the feeling of knowing that you killed a person (worst case scenario, i know, but still, it's a gun. shots fired in self defense rarely are calculated to only disable the attacker for a short amount of time (i.e. no permanent damage)).

But it's okay, you probably just made this decision as part of your venting, hopefully you will change your mind about this.
For the rest, good luck with your future and all, hopefully shit will turn out well.

if i killed a person who put my life in danger in a situation involving lethal threat, i'd feel fine

that's not the situation here, but i wouldn't have gunned anyone down here. what i would do in the future is this: guy approaches me, puts a gun at me. hit the floor, my own gun out. he sees it. chooses to fire at me. return fire. clip his foot, situation done

^thats like super super stupid, but thats what i meant, regardless of how dumb

Yeah, I can imagine that having your stuff just taken from you with no retaliatory options is downright infuriating. Sorry to hear about this. I'm guessing you weren't insured for this type of event?

Yeah, you should probably just chill for now and make any serious life decisions when you're calmer

It's nice to know that some people's future telling skills exceed mine by far...

And to the first sentence: I highly doubt that, but then again, you know yourself better than I do. Although it would be a very strange coincidence that you'd have a psychological disorder that would allow you to "feel fine" after killing someone (after anything less than a considerable amount of time).


I think you're still venting way too much btw, so discussing this doesn't make too much sense...maybe in a few days?

EDIT: I see you don't want to get a gun anymore, which I'm glad about. Again, good luck with your future, I hope everything pans out somehow.

yeah probably. this is fucked up though. i asked the police officer what would have happened had i been dragged into a fight. he said the aggressor is at fault, and if the aggressor asserts lethal threat, lethal response is valid

Yeah, I really don't think we should be antagonizing FallDownMarigold over his comments. I'm sure we'd all be furious if we were put in his shoes. Imagine turning your back for just a minute and losing a big chunk of your possessions, with basically no hopes of retrieving them. I guarantee you'd be raging, too. He just needed to vent. It's only natural.

naw vCI-CoW i realize im in the wrong too much here actually, tho i really appreciate your kindness. i was way wrong here tho, wow.. i must seem pretty rash/stupid and quick-to-anger given that blog post and the one i made before, but yeah, i think just typing out simple thoughts in word allows my brain to understand how fucking stupid some of them are. it's unlucky for y'all i made two of these so backtoback, i wasnt planning on that at all, but these two weird situations just sort of happened i guess. shoot a guy ? fuck, that's not what i want, really wish i didnt type that, i am starting to think it's maybe some self defense mechanism to try and seem tough when faced with a scary situation.. that's what i did with that one weird creep dude who called me, which happened recently - wrote about it in my blog post heh. but why did i start thinking about defending my life, when all that happened was i got robbed?my friend went to Ecuador and actually got robbed at gun points on multiple occasions. not me.

but.. yeah.. wtf. i'm still so mad, i will have to pay all kinds of money for all kinds of shit, i'm sure. super fucking lame

Well, like I said, I think you just needed to vent. It's only natural that you'd be really pissed off and feel the need to be able to defend yourself and your stuff, because I can imagine having one's car and personal possessions just disappear in the blink of an eye leaves a person feeling pretty damn vulnerable. You have my sympathies. I can only hope that replacing your lost stuff won't be too much of a hassle.

You don't need a psychological disorder to kill a person and be fine. That implies something is broken in your head.
You merely need to believe, with both heart and mind, that killing him was the right thing to do in that situation and that there is no reason to be sad or anything that someone like that in a situation like that is dead by your hand. There are many situations in which the objectively optimum outcome is to kill another. Believing in that, with all your heart and mind, is not a disorder.
"How are you?" "I am fine, because it is not normal to scream in pain."

Get your car insured for these things more so than you have now, it will give you peace of mind and make you feel less vulnerable than a gun could ever give to you. The gun isn't the answer, the feeling of safety is. I'm sorry to hear this happened to you dude.
