Where is theft, even grand theft, a capital offense?

At my place.

In Texas.
They are allowed to use deadly force to protect their property,as is proper
and right.


what right do thieves have to someone else's property?
If one cannot own property,they are not truly free.

Besides,it's GOVERNMENT that is restricted from cruel and unusual
punishment,not the citizens.
Since the police are no credible threat to thieves,thieves should have to
take their chances against whatever the ODC property owner deals out when
trying to stop their thievery.If they get shot during a theft or
burglary,that is their own choice to take such a risk;they should bear the
consequences.
That is the way it used to be back before the
socialists/"Progressives"/bleeding hearts began enacting their politically
correct crap.
(caring more about the criminal than the ODCs.)

THEN,you will see such crimes diminish.

Let the CRIMINAL bear the risks,not the ODCs.
