Oh (Shit) Canada

I mentioned this is a comment a couple of days ago, and just found the video.   This guy is absolutely insane.  The very thought that complying with someone who breaks into your home is the best policy cannot be described as anything but batshit crazy.   

“If you ever find yourself the victim of a home invasion, we are urging citizens not to take matters into your own hands...Don't engage...The best defense is to comply.”

This stupidity was in response to a home invasion during which a man was murdered.  I guess it makes sense on one level though. Subcontracting euthanasia to criminals does save the state run health service some money.

The man is abjectly stupid!

What he said is absolutely stupid. I suspect that he's brainwashed or blackmailed more than stupid. Of course, it could just be stupid.

Fortunately there are still provinces that will ignore this idiotic advice.

It does sound a lit like something Dan would say.

Few people want to "take matters into their own hands". Intelligent, mature and responsible people know when that's the best policy. Dumbasses don't.

My Ju Justu instructor liked to provide cases of women who fought against their attackers, which led to their avoiding the worst possible outcome. He would sadly contrast that with known stats and data regarding compliance with criminals. Even if all one does is scream her lungs out while struggling against the assault, the outcome statistically is better than if one just shuts up and takes it. Better still are those who train for the eventuality and do so consistently and diligently.

As we saw demonstrated by Neville Chamberlain, compliance or appeasement is doomed to failure. Giving criminals what they want, just emboldens them. As does removing the means for non criminals to protect themselves.

I'd argue that virtually no one wants to take matters into their own hands. I'd further argue that anyone who wants to is someone I'd be concerned about. The dividing line is between those who will do so if confronted, and those who empower the criminals. If necessary, I will protect my family, but I have no desire to be put in that situation. Using only enough force or whatever to escape should always be the first option.

One reason why the left doesn't want accurate statistics on crimes prevented by simply displaying a firearm kept, is because they know that the number is significant and that it undermines their narrative.
