A tip of the New Year's hat to the proprietor of American Digest for his link to my recent post on the paradoxes of illegal immigration. Via his site I came to the Powerline post, A Week's Worth of Self-Defense. For repelling a home invasion, and separating soul from body in a manner most efficient, there is nothing quite like a shot gun loaded with double aught buck shot.
Speaking of home invasions, there was one in Mesa, Arizona recently. The invader shot to death a young mother who was alone except for her infant and her grandfather. A reporter described it as a "home invasion gone badly."
As opposed to what, a home invasion that went well? And what would that be, one in which there was only a rape, and terrorization of the occupants of the house, and property damage, and the stealing of property?
One more reason to oppose liberals is that they have a casual attitude towards criminal behavior, an attitude betrayed by the sort of egregious and widespread misuse of language just cited.
For more on the casual attitude towards crime, with a link to the inimitable Dalrymple, see Britain and the Barbarians.
