What I got from the video was a statistic that as a white man I have a 262% chance of being a victim at some point....

What these airheads are advocating is, let the criminals do what ever, just don't resist. If they invade your home, ask them if they can let you gather up your kids and go out the back door and you can have what every you want.

They are oblivious to the animalistic minds of psychos and criminals.

That ain't how its gonna play out for them in my house

Amazing! There are so many people who think one should not defend ones self. The key to the stand your ground/castle doctrine is important: the burden is place on the government to show that you committed an illegal killing. Without SYG/CD the victim (person defending themselves) has a greater burden under the law and must prove their innocence.

With or without SYG or CD laws there is always an investigation!!

So much crap.....

If I am attacked or fear an attack is imminent I have a GOD given right to defend myself and my family.

Sorry ABC I refuse to be a innocent victim in the house I paid for with my own hard work.
I will not retreat so some thugs can take my family's possessions. The only things those idiots will receive are some slugs center mass.

This is just another step towards the communist agenda. Why do you think citizens or subjects in Communist/Socialist societies are so compliant? They've been brainwashed that God is bad, right is wrong, defending yourself is overaggressive/crazy behavior, guns are bad, knives are evil and full compliance of the law and government is justified.

The indoctrination never ends. I find it amazing that some of our friends were surprised that my son has a "survival knife". It's weird, because they "bust" on me because I am very strict when it comes to drinking, smoking or sex at his age----but they think it's fine for him to be doing these things. However, they're appalled that I let him have a knife????

Backwards...called indoctrination. Preoccupy the citizenry with pleasures of this world and indoctrinate against anything that is right. Look up the Wiemar Republic... they kept people preoccupied with sex, booze, drugs, etc and indoctrinated against right, selfdefense, etc.

Yup...that is exactly the mindset that many have....be a good victim and nothing bad will happen to you. I even have one relative that owns guns, shoots fairly often, but has a similar mentality to the people that are on the news clip in the OP.

Greetings,

In regards to the suggestion " Let the criminals do what ever, just don't resist. If they invade your home, ask them if they can let you gather up your kids and go out the back door and you can have what every you want."

I would ask anyone who *really believes* that to spend a few minutes of time and look up the case of the Petit family in CT from a couple years ago. Just caught a docu on it Monday night. Made me feel sick for two days. Cliff notes version:

Two psychopaths with LONG rap sheets do a home invasion in an upscale neighborhood after watching a mom and her daughter at a shopping center and follow them back home. Beat the father unconscious with a bat, force the mom to the bank to w/d $15K (which she does). The two young girls (11 and 15?) are raped (as is mom, AFTER she is strangled to death) tied up and have gasoline poured on them, after which they and house are set on fire. Some how father survives (only one) by climbing out of basement and burning house. Cops (much more to this part of story) catch pychos as they leave scene. Trials, etc. both get death penalty that will never be acted on after another 20 years of appeals.

So, is the smart money still on "follow instructions and hope you don't get hurt" or shoot them in the f***ing face?

Regards, Jim

PS......sorry for the poor grammar, I'm still really pissed about this.
