Unfortunately, my neighbor was raped by a home invader, which is a probably the main factor in why I believe you should never jeopardize your own safety in that situation

You're making a lot of assumptions.

I never said to kill anyone...

Just don't put yourself at greater harm by making yourself a potential target.

If an intruder, whose intentions you don't know, isn't aware that you're there, you may be able to:

quietly leave to safety
set off a loud, disconnected alarm system to scare them, if you have one
secure and barricade a room

That all being said, can you tell me how it's priveledge to prioritize the healthy and safety of myself and my child over a stranger that has broken into our home?

and how do you propose we do that? Should I put up a "please no home intruders or rapes" sign on my front lawn? This reeks of victim blaming.
