So your solution for homelessness is ... shooting random homeless people? Even "self defense" carries with it a test for proportional response.


Acting like the parent poster suggested shooting random homeless people as a solution for homelessness is disgusting.

Defending yourself from a person who hits you in the head with a hard object is reasonable (at least in the rest of the world outside of California), shooting too.

That's not even remotely what the parent said. Random homeless people != Homeless person assaulting you.


True, so.... Only shoot the "homeless person assaulting you"... Hmm... I'm not sure that's a lot better, hehehe :)

Wouldn't it be easier to just help the homeless person to not be desperate, offer treatment, and home with TV..

(A room with a TV is a cheap way to prevent crime)
