Someone hurting my dog. I will harm a human physically and go to prison if they dare harm my dog.
Pain and suffering such as genocide and pedophilia have been going on for centuries, but my dog can live for only like fifteen years. For a human to harm my dog who has brought me such joy in life is punishable by death in my eyes. Fuck you, that's one of my best friends who can't defend himself and is literally perfect. I have choked out pitbulls for him and I am not afraid to put you six feet under if you harm this creature.

My problem with so much of common philosophy on self-defense is that it limits the defender to "proportional force". I've seen people all over scrutinize people for defending themselves "unfairly" or "improperly", to the point they'd need to be half dead to be justified in their eyes.

But no, harming a man's family, including his pets justifies lethal force. Same for his property in a lot of cases, if someone is going to harm you family or property, it's reasonable to think they'll harm you too.

My ideals are somewhat muted by what I have to preserve. If everything I hold dear was to be gone, then I might go all in.

On a completely unrelated note, I really liked the concept behind the last installment of the Da Vinci Code,
