The Prophet

The vast majority of crimes are commited by criminals, drug dealers, etc, against each other....

Very few burgalers carry a weapon beyond what they need to break in and that is likely laying in the bushes below the window or beside the door. Besides, in my home, who is going to have the upper hand - myself or the surprised thief?

And what is the suggestion here from the passivists voice?

If I hear a strange noise in my kitchen, late at night when we are all in bed, what would you suggest I do? Hide trembling in the closet and hope they don't find the room my child is in? Ask them to leave so they can go over to my neighbors and take their shit? Hold them for the cops so they can go through the court system, burning up tax dollars and continue to be a cost to society?

To hell with that. Drop the bastard before he can reach the door or window he entered.
