Lemme try to make it easy. You don't know their intent. It is 100% impossible to know the intent of someone who breaks into your home.

As an aside, I never got the argument of "property isn't worth a human life." It feels like that should be said to the people who steal, not the people who value their property. Like, it's different if it happened in the street and they're fleeing and no longer a danger to you. But if they're in your house, all bets are off.

I feel were at an impasse because this discussion is inherently american so I dont think i can even articulate my perspective here.

Im not making the claim that "property isnt worth a human life" to be clear

When it comes to the idea of their intention.... I think there is a problem with the inherent thought (based on whats been discussed in here) that we dont know their intention, so lets start at the top, assume they are here to rape our daughters and wives, make me watch, and then kill us all... so we better take them out first so that doesnt happen.

I understand THAT this is where guys are.... but I cant see grasp/understand the NEED to be there
