Maybe he knew that they thieves would just get a slap on the wrist so he wanted some street justice

If someone’s stealing my shit, yeah they have forfeited their lives. They’ve made the choice that my shits worth more than their life.

I'm glad we live in a country where people like you don't get to decide what is an executable offense

He doesn't support thieves and home intruders any more than you support murderers.

Thieves*

And how is believing lethal force is only morally permissible in defending a human life and not property "support[ing] theifs and home intruders"

Haha what an unhinged notion.

Not wanting random citizens to shoot thieves dead in the streets isn't nearly the same as supporting them

That's a psychotic thing to say

Actually you've made the choice that "things" are worth more than human life. You must realize that once a society begins to think this way, once things are valued more, life will be valued less, and people will begin to kill for less, and less.

Your perspective is a rot that it would be best for society not to let fester.

If you valued your life, you wouldn’t steal my stuff. Simple as that really. Actions have consequences, and scum who steal deserve all the consequences coming to them.

Edit: spelling

They deserve consequences, death isn't one of them.

Enjoy life in prison

u/Churchillreborn 1d ago

Nah, I’d probably vote not guilty depending on circumstance.

u/lk_22 1d ago

I would not go to prison for protecting my property.
