Which makes them the weak one and your claim of self-defense a spurious one. You don't actually know if you're in danger.

Holy fuck you’re not thinking at all? If someone is breaking into your home, you’re in danger.

Or do you want everyone to be obligated to go over and check on the well being of the person first?

“Hey I know you’re busy breaking into my home for an unknown reason, do you need a hand? Some water? Maybe a tic tac? You know what, let me just get that window for you”

No that’s fucking stupid. You have very very obviously lived an extremely sheltered life where you don’t have to worry about your own protection

Jesus you’re pointlessly obtuse

See, the difference between you and me is that you can't envision "self defense" beyond committing murder in this situation and I can. Many, many other options.
