I get how a liberal could want social programs, since it’s basically more money for them taken from someone else: immoral but understood, more resources for your, less for someone else.
But why is the first reaction of liberals in an altercation to criticize the person reacting to being assaulted and not the person starting the violence?
Do they just assume nothing bad will ever happen to them and thus can’t empathize with someone being genuinely victimized?
I can’t see what they would gain from outlawing self-defense.
If anything, liberals are more likely to be assaulted since they are weaker physically.
Also this reminded me of a story a few years ago about a home invader being killed by the homeowner, I think with an AR-15.
The invader’s grandfather said that it “wasn’t fair” for the homeowner to use a gun.
The answer is: Anarcho-Tyranny
“Anarcho-tyranny” is defined this way: “we refuse to control real criminals (that’s the anarchy) so we control the innocent (that’s the tyranny).”
The government functions normally, violent crime remains a constant, creating a climate of fear (anarchy). “laws that are supposed to protect ordinary citizens against ordinary criminals” routinely go unenforced, even though the state is “perfectly capable” of doing so.
While this problem rages on, government elites concentrate their interests on law-abiding citizens. In fact, Middle America winds up on the receiving end of both anarchy and tyranny.
The laws that are enforced are either those that extend or entrench the power of the state and its allies and internal elites … or else they are the laws that directly punish those recalcitrant and “pathological” elements in society who insist on behaving according to traditional norms—people who do not like to pay taxes, wear seat belts, or deliver their children to the mind-bending therapists who run the public schools; or the people who own and keep firearms, display or even wear the Confederate flag, put up Christmas trees, spank their children, and quote the Constitution or the Bible—not to mention dissident political figures who actually run for office.
