Comment on Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic

  Especially when it causes law enforcement to become so paranoid of the citizens they’re ostensibly meant to protect, that a mere hailstone landing on the car roof immediately causes them to believe they’re being fired upon.

  That just sounds like a terrible time for everyone involved.

  At that point, you’re basically turning the constabulary into soldiers.

    If citizens have a “Constitutional Right” to have a gun, why does exercising the right so often result in law enforcement killing them without a trial?

  No, being limited in self defense to the power of your body is a pre-civilized state. Asking women to punch people to defend themselves is nature rules. That’s where whoever’s biggest gets to take advantage of people.

    I have no problems with people carrying mace for self defense. There are highly effective less lethal options.

  In civilized countries “self defense” means you might have to punch someone.

  My back is fucked and have an 80% rating from the VA. I’m not getting into fist fights anymore.

  If someone gets blown away stealing shit, the world has become a better place, frankly.

      Fascism is when you don’t let people steal your stuff.

        I was referring to summary execution of a thief being a good thing.

    “Property is more valuable than human lives.”
    A statement from a person in a developed country apparently…

        Well he has a VA rating. Turning human bodies into rotting meat piles is his way of life.

        Try “A government should take care of its citizens.”
