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.
BTW,I'm a victim of thieves;first they stole the badges off the extrerior
of my Integra GS-R,then the ECU(car doesn't run without the engine
electronics,and it was SIX weeks to get a new one!),then a few years
later,they made several attempts to steal the entire car.I was unable to
justify shooting them under the law as it is today in Florida,and they
eventually were successful in stealing the car despite an alarm,(I watched
it happen)and other security measures I took,from a GATED community.
The car was found 3 days later,two counties away,stripped and torched.All
my tools that were in the car were lost,too. Insurance doesn't begin to
cover the REAL worth of what was taken,and all that does is overlook the
thefts and spread the costs to everyone.And I suppose they used my engine
and parts in street racers that endangers the public.Also,they are still
free to prey on other people,with a tiny chancee of their ever being
caught.
I couldn't buy another Integra,as they would have taken that one,too.
Loss of FREEDOM,along with loss of valuable property.
and I have to live behind *F-ing BARS* for even a sense of "security"!!
That's why I believe in use of deadly force upon such thieves;
it's NOT equal to shooting a starving man or for items of small value.
These thieves have NO value to our society.
Oh,and police were WORTHLESS;the property has digital security cams on all
the exits(for the car that brought the thieves in and led my car out),and
police never bothered to go LOOK at the recordings.
They don't patrol our property,either.
but such thefts do "justify" their salaries....
they don't protect me and they don't allow me to *effectively* protect my
own property,that I worked hard for. A loss of FREEDOM.
I grew up in Florida. Farmers reloaded shot gun shells (10,12 ga.)
with *rock salt* in place of lead (peel the top back/open remove
lead/pack with large salt pellets). The salt went below the skin in
the ass end. Burned and needed to be plucked out with tweezers. Never
killed, but kept trespassers away...
"Property crimes" end up on the back burner. Yesterday; after 100 or
so burglaries, smash and grabs plus home invasions our locals busted
two meth heads (a couple!).
Inventory of recovered items include automatic weapons, ATVs,
electronics = 100 items or so. They live in a neighbor - folks
suspected peculiar activity and never called the police.*
Thieves, seldom do much time in the slammer.
Saw a report today where a guy got tired of break-ins of his car so he
put up a web cam and then uploaded it to You Tube.
