Is the Word "Invasion" Being Overused?


I’ve been meaning to raise another point about this. The word “invasion,” is being overused to the point of making it sound normal. Think about what an “invasion” really is. You’ve got your Genghis Khan, Attila, guys like that. You’ve got hordes of whatever you imagine overwhelming the defenses. That’s “invasion.”

But for you spin doctors, a simple break-in or any burglary becomes a “home invasion.” Now, Jake is even talking about the “invaders.”

You guys really give me a good laugh sometimes. And aren’t you glad you’ve got me around here to question these things? Left to your own devices there’s no limit to what you might arrive to.

  1. I note that you've said nothing about the machete-wielding man who broke into Stephen Breyer's home in the Caribbean. I wonder if the justice now understands why some of us want to have a gun available.

    1. Yes, you want a gun available because you are weak and stupid.

      In the Breyer crime, NO ONE died, NO ONE was injured, and the criminal was promptly caught and will be held accountable under rule of law, with appropriate rather than fatal consequences.

      I'm not hearing Breyer scream he wished he had a gun; he seems quite satisfied with the outcome. It is only weak scared people like you who demand the chance to shoot someone in this kind of occurrence instead of what happened. You just love the idea of being the executioner of others; shame on you.

    2. I don't screen stories for "machete," unless the guy had a CCW permit I might have missed it.
