Is there anything you'd be willing to fight a war for?

I have known one fellow, a completely untrustworthy person, who broke into a house to get women's clothing. I would not be surprised if this creep (a relative) is eventually convicted for rape. He's now in his mid-fifties (he is a relative, and you don't choose them), not that that will stop him if he gets the urge.

Burglars are unpredictable. California had a three-strikes law, and by sentencing people to extremely long terms for burglaries, the state got an unpredicted result of rapes falling off. Don't confront; just get out.

Yes, they are, and when there are less severe consequences, they do it more. For example, 5 out of 6 of the top countries in the world for burglary rates are Angosphere and Nordic countries with some of the weakest self-defense laws
number of burglaries per 100,000 people
Australia: 674
UK: 715
Sweden: 781
Denmark: 954
New Zealand: 1353


USA: 376

Keep in mind: all of these countries on balance have much, much lower overall crime than the United States, yet all have substantially higher rates of burglary cuz, you guessed it, the consequences aren't severe enough.
