I'm not sure if shooting someone over a property crime is a good shoot. Obviously it's a bad shoot outside of Texas. But I would like to see all of our pussy state legislators make this legal. |

Shooting the thief as he was running away is most likely a bad shoot. When you are steeling from a person you are taking a part of their life, as in the time they used to acquire the item a thief is taking. |

You're seriously advocating shoot to wound? Yeah, good luck with that. If your going to shoot, shoot to kill. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Good shoot/Bad shoot? That is the question or one of the questions. Another of several additional questions is: Was the punishment received by the criminal proper and appropriate for the crime of ' Attempted theft'? The logical answer is, NO plain and simple. Was the owner justified in firing his weapon under the reported circumstances. He certainly has the right to protect his property. Perhaps a warning shot would have been more appropriate even shooting the would be thief in the leg would certainly be OK. I don't see attempted car theft of an unoccupied vehicle as justification for killing the perp. Yes, yes, I know the thief will never come back and threaten the victim again or anyone else. However, the punishment in this particular incidence does not seem to fit the crime. He was not getting away with the car. The property was not stolen. Justification of killing the perp does not exist in this case. Had the thief been driving away in the owners car and the owner shot and killed the thief I could place no blame on the owner. He does indeed have a right to protect his property. Respectfully, YMMV . |

I respectfully disagree. Your muddling of the term "vigilantism" is the same as the BradyBloomieBLM hacks, and equally as invalid. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
For all you "good shoot" people, answer this: Is or is not America a nation of laws? Should we or should we not eschew vigilante justice? Is the average person properly qualified to be judge, jury, and executioner? But shooting someone who is presenting no threat to you, just because you saw them trying to steal something? That's third-world, "pour gas on them and light them up" shit right there. Your muddling of the term "vigilantism" is the same as the BradyBloomieBLM hacks, and equally as invalid. |

Very bad shoot by an obviously untrained shooter. Having said that, the crux of the issue is the Uncle's comment. The nephew was committing a crime (and I'll bet all my wealth that this wasn't his first break in) and it's accepted as being ok. |

Oh, you're right. I failed to consider the fact that "fuck thieves" justifies deadly force in this situation. Apparently, the agency and prosecutors involved in this case didn't realize it either. Fortunately, the "fuck thieves" defense will certainly come out in trial and the guy will be found not guilty.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Back in the day they hung horse thieves. Maybe we should look into that again. Far back corner of the lot, underneath a large tree was a small stone that simply read, "The Horse Thief." I'm assuming they buried him where he dropped when they cut the rope. Just down the hill was also the last wet inn on the Santa Fe Trail. Once you left Missouri, better have loaded up on the booze you needed to get you through the trip, because no more places to get it after that. Was good friends with the family that lived in that house, their driveway is a historically protected piece of road because of the wagon ruts. When it rains hard and washes out the fill in gravel, there are some deep fucking ruts. They have to drive through their frontyard/field when that happens, because I don't know a car on the market that could navigate a wagon rut driveway. |

Shooting thieves that are not threatening you with death or grave bodily harm is prohibited in the vast majority of states. Texas allows shooting thieves under restricted circumstances. Like at night and if recovering the property would be 'difficult' IIRC. |

People should not be held responsible when reacting to a criminal act perpetrated against them. If the POS was not committing the crime the action from the victim wouldn't have happened.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Stealing property is stealing life. Do you work for free? Is everything given to you for free? No? You earn money by sacrificing hours of your life for hard earned money to buy what you need and want? So.....I should be allowed to steal your car and property, and as long as I am unarmed or running away to hurt someone else I am ok? You cannot shoot to protect your property? Only a fucking communist believes that. My property represents YEARS of my life spent at work. At jobs I hated. So I could acquire what I needed and wanted legally and honorably. My property IS my life. Why should huge chunks of my life be sacrificed for other peoples laziness? Why is a thiefs life worth more than mine? Why should they not have to work for what they want? Why should I have to work MORE (much more) to allow them to steal it from me with no fear of consequences? Do you also believe slavery is ok too? |
