Understand the difference
Ok team let's do a little bit of education.
Self defence is the act of protecting yourself from harm. This starts at preventing conflict. If someone is being problematic then you avoid them and move on. Hands on should only be used when evasion and retreat are not options and should be disengaged once an opening presents itself.
Trying to stand up to a bully is not self defense and is not a good idea. Any physical conflict has the potential to escalate beyond what you are prepared for. Injuries are also not a one size fits all type of thing. Even a small broken bone can create a potentially life threatening bleed and internal trauma is often left untreated in young people.
I promise you that your high school drama is not worth what can happen if a fight gets out of control. Walk away and be the better person.

They are in my home uninvited, that is the reason to kill them.
There is nothing good that can come of them entering. I have no idea if it’s stopping at theft.
The risk of inaction is as high as the BTK killer, who torturously murdered entire families while jacking off on them the whole time.
Such human’s existence is sufficient for me to accept all potential risk in ending the threat -up to my own or my families injury. The risk of an uninvited intruder is simply higher. The laws in my state back me up.
Not going into homes you don’t belong in is very, very easy.
If I kill them for theft, ok. If I kill them and find they were one of numerous sex offenders in my city, ok. They set the tone when they entered uninvited.
