I think if someone robs you in a parking lot, you should be able to run them over with your car, then back up over you again, max six times. Logically, seven times is too many.

I have no idea how I would react if someone broke into my house. Possibly **** my pajama pants and hope his sense of smell doesn't direct him to the wardrobe I'm hiding in?

do you think it is a good way to place parts of that supposed security wall on disputted land?

The security barrier goes along a route and terrain which is defendable. It snakes over and back the green line to boot.

Anything else that needs clarification?
 
I'm supposed to form my opinions on the very different cases of home invasion and illegal immigrants based on North Korea policies?

No.

Tell them that you were only sight-seeing.


Let me know how you were treated.

That's not an answer, and Roger's right.

A home invasion is different from using dogs to hunt people down at the border.

We have a law here in Colorado that says if someone enters your home illegally, you can defend yourself with deadly force.

It doesn't apply to people entering the state.

You see the difference?
 
Since we apparently have to make the distinction clear:

A home invasion is an instance of imminent threat to your well being that requires an instant response with no room for failure. If you call 911 the police will show up in time to identify your body. In those cases only are we ever allowed to use lethal forces. Except in 'Castle Doctrine' (US) states the standard is the entry has to either pose a threat to your life or a threat of serious bodily injury. Castle doctrine states lower the standard to any injury, no matter how small.

Inasmuch as an illegal immigrant 1) does not pose a near instantaneous threat to life and limb; 2) can be dealt with effectively with less than lethal or violent means, we do not condone lethal or violent responses to them.

If dogs entered North Korea illegally, they would probably be eaten.

Or did I get the whole metaphor thing wrong?
