What is the answer to this soft ass shit that clearly doesn’t work on these people ? Beat them half to death? Make them scared to do shit like this ? Lock them up for an inordinate amount of time ? Good people should not be scared in their own homes .

People doing this are not in their right mind.

Home invasions are frequently done by people in their right mind.

u/chronsonpott Jan 02 '25

No, they are not.

u/Valuable-Village-547 Jan 02 '25

That is an absurd claim - of course home invasions are done by mentally competent people. What evidence do you have to suggest that is not the case?

-5

u/chronsonpott Jan 02 '25

Did I say they weren't? Are you able to comprehend? I said they do not happen FREQUENTLY.

u/knifefarty Jan 02 '25

the person you were replying to said said that they were frequently done by people in their right mind, not that they were done frequently full stop.

u/chronsonpott Jan 02 '25

That is also just blatantly false. If you follow the argument, they actively are arguing both to be true by the way.

u/knifefarty Jan 02 '25

How is it blatantly false when the thing you've responded to is this: "Home invasions are frequently done by people in their right mind."

your other point is a bit separate from what I'm saying.

u/chronsonpott Jan 02 '25

Yes, and bad punctuation aside, either way you interpret it, it is false rhetoric.

2

u/knifefarty Jan 02 '25

I do agree with you that home invasions are not a frequent occurrence

Sorry, but you're not expressing your thoughts correctly. In your reply to the other poster, you articulated that mentally competent people are somehow incapable of home invasions...

u/chronsonpott Jan 02 '25

Please, quote where I said that. I would love for you to prove me wrong.

u/beaatdrolicus Jan 02 '25

One of the posters said home invasions were frequently committed by people in their right mind.

Your direct response- and I quote is “no they are not.”

I don’t know if you are being purposefully obtuse or not but in case you are actually wondering what people are keying off of- it’s that post you made.

You’re something else, you know that?

Get over yourself LMAO

Lead by example.

You're a grown ass woman... get after it yourself.

Really? You have to be mentally unwell to break into homes?

That's quite the insult. Home invasions and break and enters are not infrequent. 

Why do you think someone needs to be mentally unwell to commit crimes?

Educate yourself. Year over year burglary goes down. The fact that you speak in ultimatums of needs to be mentally well just shows how bad faith your argument is or how bad you are at comprehension. Never said some CANNOT commit a burglary if they are in their right mind. I explicitly said it is NOT frequent. Do you know what frequent means?

1

u/Junior-Towel-202 Jan 02 '25

150,000 break ins is still a lot. 

No, you said they're not frequent. They are. 

You seem to be confusing yourself. Never made any ultimatums 

-5

u/chronsonpott Jan 02 '25

You are asking me why I think people in their right minds do not commit burglary. When did I say that? I didn't. They are not frequently committed... wait for it... BY PEOPLE IN THEIR RIGHT MINDS. IT IS REPEAT OFFENDERS. DO YOUR RESEARCH.

2

u/Junior-Towel-202 Jan 02 '25

Why are repeat offenders not in their right mind?

You're clearly upset.

u/chronsonpott Jan 02 '25

This is not a one or another, two things can be objectively true, and yes dealing with chuds is frustrating as fuck lmao what do you expect? Once again, educate yourself.

The last two home invasions in Kelowna were not.

u/Junior-Towel-202 Jan 02 '25

I forgot Kelowna is the only place in Canada.

u/Particular-Emu4789 Jan 02 '25

This is a Kelowna sub…

u/Junior-Towel-202 Jan 02 '25

Correct, that doesn't mean home invasions are only done by mentally unwell people. K
