He then asked if I was willing to shoot someone over my xbox.
I told him, "The xbox was besides the point. We are talking about a person intruding into my house at night with my family present. Hell yes, I'd shoot him. It's the principle of the thing. I'd shoot a hole in my xbox without blinking to do it."
It has nothing to do with any principle of a person breaking in. It has to do with the THREAT that the person breaking in is making. Breaking in shows that a person has no morals, and there is a real possibility the person will kill your family even if you “let” them take the Xbox in order to get more stuff.
There is no moral judgments to be made IN THE MOMENT. There is only a threat to your family’s life and to your life.
Period.
