Florida sheriff says homeowners can save tax-payers money by shooting intruders. Your thoughts?

[Anonymous]

My opinion? I’m becoming more and more glad I live in the state of Florida, from the recent accomplishments of Governor Desantis to many of our sheriffs not pandering to political correctness and the emotions of overly sensitive people it truly is a breath of fresh air for many.

Also, Sheriff Johnson is not actually wrong.
Tax-payers stand to save a lot of money, collectively speaking.

I knew DeSantis was on the right track when he said that if people are demonstrating and end up blocking a bridge, it is okay to run them over. Overnight all the bridge demonstrators went back to wherever they came from.

I’ll bet the rate of burglary in his county is very low!

[exitseven]

I bet it is zero.

That is a very good thing. If several are shot and killed and the media publicizes it 24/7, it should greatly reduce home burglaries. The sheriff should advise people to not answer their door, if they don't know who it is; then lay in wait and shoot to kill as soon as the break in. When the criminals realize, that if no one answers the door, that doesn't mean no one is home, they will be far less likely to burglarize a home.

I agree but the local prosecutor might think differently.

[NathanDavis]

just another psychopath in a position of power...

[Asker]

Do you actually know what a psychopath is?

[Slingblade1126]

Yes! A psychopath is anyone that stands for law and order. I'm I right?

@Slingblade1126

This is an example of people using or throwing around words in which they are misused. A popular example is when people say something is “racist” when in fact it is not. People just say words to denote things without really thinking too much into whether or not they used the words correctly.

Eventually, if enough people do this, words will start to lose their meaning.

[Slingblade1126]

Exactly. Just like comparing everybody they disagree with to Hitler. It's insulting and shows they have no argument.

[Asker]

@Slingblade1126

Believe it or not, I think there’s something equally, if not worse than this.

People who are caught doing this and once put on the spot, will not admit or be honest about their wrongdoing.

Many people double down or pretend to find some definition of the word they used to fit their intentions.

[Slingblade1126]

Definitely. I read it everyday on here.

[NathanDavis]

you would not know better... you're also one of the most damaged people on this site

you don't even know how to smile... which is a simple and basic human feature, that's how disconnected you are from reality and your true self

[Asker]

@NathanDavis

You don’t know me, so how can you say I’m damaged.

Also, knowing how to smile is somewhat of a subjective and experiential thing.

What one smile does for one person, may not do the same for a different person. Also, if you don’t know how to smile for photos, that’s indicative of really nothing, except you may not necessarily smile a lot when a picture is taken of you.

In this case, it’s a matter of practice.

[NathanDavis]

you don't need to be known completely, the very obvious signs and patter of damage are there to be seen in you, and is just not me the one who thinks so and can see it, but I am the one pointing this out

you're not capable of a genuine smile, that is the point... and in your case it is because of the disconnect you have both with yourself and also reality... it might not be the case for others that is true, but others are different to you

besides that... did you ignore my question on that other post? or you just missed the question along the many other comments on that post?

[Asker]

@NathanDavis

Well, I’m sure I know my life better than you, so I can’t see what you’re seeing because there’s nothing in my life where I’d be damaged from. I’ve lived a good life.

I think, you think I’m damaged because you have a disapproval over some of my posts.

You read quite a lot into these posts in my opinion, so you can make these conclusions you’ve just made about me without knowing me.

About my smile
•Some have liked it, others have not.
What’s true regardless of these? Whenever I’ve taken these photos, I haven’t put too much effort into smiling nice. For one, you have to put in effort to look good for a photo smiling, also, some people just look more natural smiling and appear better.

I don’t know what you mean by “disconnect you have both with yourself and also reality…”

I think you just do not like me, so you’re making a lot of this stuff up to demonstrate your dislike for me, all while pretending you’re being objective or factual.

[Asker]

@Slingblade1126

Please witness, this is how you fairly, calmly, and reasonably dismantle someone who is being unreasonable and passive aggressive.

[NathanDavis]

this is not about you though... it is about the stupid mindset that you have, and the verbal diarrhea you display on this site

you're not that important, so do not make it about yourself as a person

now, on the other part... did you see my other question, or are you just dodging it like many other things you've dodge before?

[Asker]

@NathanDavis

How is it not about me if you’re literally talking about me?
“Stupid mindset” and “verbal diarrhea” is nothing more than you clearly having disagreement over what I’ve said.

Not everyone will agree with you.

Some will sure, but not everyone.

[NathanDavis]

@Slingblade1126 please validate him... he is so unsure of himself that he cannot go a full day without looking for approval

throw him a bone please, asap

[Asker]

@NathanDavis

Well, if I’m being honest, which is something you can practice more of in my opinion, I believe all of us are a bit unsure of ourselves.

We are all on a journey to discover ourselves and “validate” our thoughts, convictions, etc.

It’s normal to not be so sure of yourself and it’s normal to be somewhat insecure.

We’re all human and we’re not perfect.

I never claimed to be perfect or something other than human.

[Asker]

@Slingblade1126

Notice again, how I turned an attack on me, as a humble/honest response.

It’s clear that this person would not approach me in-person with the same energy and boldness that he is demonstrating right now.

If anything, throughout the comments, I’ve been reasonable and haven’t been as hostile.

[NathanDavis]

and there we go... little dude so insecure, now he has to compensate and pretend to be a fighter, lmao... pathetic

[NathanDavis]

wait wait... go with your other act now

the one in which you just like to say that any guy that does not agree with you is just a gay dude that is sexually turned on by you... go ahead

[Asker]

@NathanDavis

Well, do I know how to fight? Yes
Also, my job is literally centered around fighting/combat.

I don’t pretend to be anything I’m not.

There’s absolutely proof demonstrating this.

I literally offered to have an MMA match with you if you’re in the south Florida area and I don’t think you got back to me on that.

That offer will always stand and I’m 100% serious if you’re consenting.

As for the last thing you mentioned, I do not know what you’re talking about.

[NathanDavis]

yeah, you are not damaged at all...

last bit is almost cute... now you pretend to have no idea

and I do hope you are pretending for the sake of not wanting to look bad to the audience you think you have here watching this unfold

hopefully is not blackouts or memory lapses that you're experiencing

[jamesgoldman]

Good, wish it was the same scenario in the UK

[Iron_Man]

I’m from Florida
