How do we stop home burglaries?

[Armbars]

I have an alarm.

To be honest, most normal houses are good game for someone who wants to get in. Unless you are rich, always at home or have crazy dogs they will get in.

 

[Hoof Hearted]

As a socialist, I would take a gun and shoot to kill any home intruder. And if I shoot the correct target, then I'm a Dirty Harry type American hero. Bc killing always solves problems. Just ask the Mob, the Military or the Clintons.

On the other hand, if the burglar is intent on stealing my playstation, he can have it plus I'll give him my wallet's contents to grab a meal and a shower.

We all have a low point and need a hand up.

I don't think most people burgle because they are starving. That kid in the video OP posted is not robbing that guy's house because of hunger. If I was starving I would more likely rob a grocery store / supermarket not someone's house.

How do you know any of this?

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Or should we? We know the 'look' and likely identity of burglars. We can lock them up preemptively bc we know what is in their 'black' little hearts. We can even have preemptive executions to make us feel safer.

In a hyper consumer based society where achievement is identical to what you purchase, possessions are the currency of life. And since property is theft like taxes is theft....I'm sorry, once you start tripping down that disjointed road of the libertarian apologist, authoritative shit on property rights just starts oozing out.

The burglar came for my TV and he left with cash and a hot meal. I can think of worse things to do to an intruder....like shoot him to death.

I know where to go for a free TV, some cash and a meal then. You'll have a queue of people at your door.

A shoot to kill law would be an excellent way to thin out the disgusting burglar population. If the scumbag survives, then he should have his hands chopped off and the word thief carved into his forehead with a dull spoon.

FIFY.

I know when it comes to invasions/burglary there's a camp of people who say AR15s are an unfair advantage for the homeowner. Start with those. I have a family member who's dog was shot by buglars, not always fool proof. Hell nothing is.

Do what my old neighbor did, take the door off your house, leave it by the mailbox, write "party" on it in sharpie. Can't get burgled when you invite them in. 4D chess

People in this thread seem to be talking about home invasions, not burglaries.

Every state should have a castle doctrine. Just the act of breaking into someone's home should justification for the use of deadly force.

Don't want to get shot don't break into people's home or anywhere they are.

 

[bobgeese]

Shooting intruders is a good start.

 

[Necromantic]

One of the worst fucking things that can happen to a person is when someone invades your private domain. There's an increase of this type of shit in Las Vegas recently. Almost all of these pieces of shit and their kids are moving in from Callifornia to North Las Vegas and they go to the nice neighborhoods and break into houses. They've been targeting Summerlin and Mountain's Edge properties.

They used to stay their ghetto asses in the projects, but when they dissolved that and replaced it with section 8, they got spread around.

You live in Summerlin? I had to go there for a client. The nights I ended up pissing in the parking lot at an Asian massage place. Good times.

Every state should have a castle doctrine. Just the act of breaking into someone's home should justification for the use of deadly force.

Don't want to get shot don't break into people's home or anywhere they are.

I think a "moat doctrine" would be better...where you beat the shit out of them and drown them in your toilet.

Live in a country where not 1/3rd of the population lives and acts like they are from the 3rd world.

I feel the word I am about to use is over used to extreme levels and I don't think I've used it on here before, but, what a cuck.

 

[djacobox372]

No ground floor windows and a door that can't be kicked in.

 

[Pickle Rick]

you can't

long term solution?

have an alarm system, a watchdog, and a good handgun ready loaded
and live in a castle doctrine state..

i have a sticker on each entry ..i dont even get solicitors

Loud alarm system, a couple dogs, a tall wrought iron gate with sharp spikes on top to limit the ability to take anything heavy or large over the top helps. If someone is dead set on getting into your particular house though you aren’t stopping them.

They’ll bring food or peppery spray or worse for your dogs, they’ll bring a torch to cut a hole in your gate and they’ll smash, grab and be gone before your loud alarm draws enough attention from anyone.

They’ll cut holes through drywall in neighboring businesses to come through the wall into your business, or cut a hole in the roof after scouting a blind spot for cameras/sensors and crawl across the floor below the motion sensors once inside.

And if it’s California they’ll just get released a day or two after even if they do get caught so good luck stopping it.

Most burglaries occur during the day while people are at work etc... they use lookouts like women with strollers and or joggers to scout out homes and check for patterns..short of putting a cop on every single block and just having them patrolling (expensive and sort of a waste of manpower) nypd routinely does this for "presence" but its mostly a dog and pony show ..

some helpful tips would be
keep your blinds and or shades/curtains closed during the day if you are not home (have both )
have a dog that will bark at strangers
keep your locks secure and keep your bushes trimmed around windows so the burglars dont have a place to hide while opening your windows..
most of this is common sense

Ya me too. When I'm home I have a firearm so I'll likely be ok. When I'm not home I have an alarm and there is really nothing material that someone could steal that would affect me that much. Just about everything can be replaced

It can be proven statistically via rates of starvation in the local population as compared to rates of home invasion. If you think that people break into your home to steal your stuff because they are starving, then you should show a correlation.

I wonder though, what if the burglar doesn't want your TV? What if he wants your wife? Will you be as hospitable to this criminal then?

As a socialist, I would take a gun and shoot to kill any home intruder. And if I shoot the correct target, then I'm a Dirty Harry type American hero. Bc killing always solves problems. Just ask the Mob, the Military or the Clintons.

On the other hand, if the burglar is intent on stealing my playstation, he can have it plus I'll give him my wallet's contents to grab a meal and a shower.

Why wait until a burglar comes into your house?

If you're so altruistic and caring about a person in need needing a meal, you can empty out the contents of your wallet to the first homeless person you encounter.

But like most "socialists" you're don't live by the virtue you espouse. Hence the contents of your wallet will remain in your wallet.

The intruder probably will need some sleep after you feed him, may as well give him your bed, and your old ladies wizard sleeve while you are at it.
