The vigilantism isn't of a particular concern to me. Regardless of how good
a police force you have they are not going to sit on your property and stake
out your property to protect it. Nor to protect you from someone who has
threatened you for that matter. TV cop shows use this as a staple but it
doesn't happen in real life except as an extremely rare instance. It is
your responsibility to take care of your stuff. The guns don't bother me
either. The booze bothers me a lot. Even without the guns, it's showing
them drinking and driving apparently. Add the guns in and it's totally
unbelievable it was shown without at least some disclaimer. Those idiots
should have been spending some time in jail. And if the thieves could be
found, they could share a cell.

I don't watch those flipping (?) shows so I guess I don't have to worry
about boycotting them but it would be nice to know where that was aired to
let them know that was totally irresponsible. I'm not sure the network
isn't as dumb as those guys. I would think the show's producers would have
been subject to some liability if those drunks had injured someone (thief or
innocent bystander).

It's not one I recall from the normal pak of that ilk. The ads in general
show a make over from a dilapidated barn to a beautiful home. That's not
what this show did but what it shows as their general advertising blurb.
Its some realty company who buys cheap, fixes up then sells homes.

No safety msg (common sense though) was posted. It took a serious
cavalier attitude towards alcohol, vigilantism and guns. I can live with
vigilantism in some extreme cases but guns and alcohol don't mix and
advocating such in a nationwide TV show was totally irresponsible on the
part of the network (which one I didn't take note of). If I locate it
again I'll write to them for sure to voice my displeasure over their
stupidity to air that segment.

Which show was that. I'll make a point of not watching it. I presume
there wasn't the obligatory, "don't try this at home" safety message.
