Details are still scant, but…

“I mean, he had a lot of ammunition in that house, and certainly … all of us were strapped, you know, with ammunition, and we were calling for additional ammunition,” Kraus said. “Like I said, we tried to give him every opportunity to come out.”

    …I’ll go way out on a limb and suggest that this could’ve been handled better.

    So I can just take all your stuff and you’re fine with it because fuck private property?

    There are huge problems in the current system but just letting the person with the most guns do whatever they want is not a good solution

      If it prevents someone from being homeless without risking someone else (or me) being homeless then yes. Private property should not be of a higher concern than someone having shelter.

        You could be helping hundreds of people in poor countries survive, but you’re not. You should be selling your property and donating the proceeds to UNICEF or similar.

          Do you not understand the difference between taking from someone that’s hoarding a resource required by society and taking everything someone owns?

            You have more than you need, though, and someone else needs it more than you do. You don’t have to give up everything you own, just everything in excess of your need.

              This is bad faith trolling. Youre conflating the private property corporations and the wealthy hoard, depriving people of vital resources for their own profit, with my personal property of a few spoiled apples that I wasn’t able to eat.

              Me pinching pennies so I can donate even more is not going to make a lasting impact whereas disowning those willfully depriving others will.

                You said

                Private property should not be of a higher concern than someone having shelter.

                Your private property could be used to help house someone much more in need than yourself.
