Re: Is This Legal?
Damn left-wingers will have you believe that the reason he is stealing is because he grew up in a bad neighborhood and he was disadvantaged... this is BS. He is stealing because he sucks at life, and gives up his right to live when he threatens to kill others.
No. I have no idea why he is stealing. I do believe, however, the following which makes me think it is extremely wrong to shoot this person:
1. It is not the responsibility of the victims of crime to appropriate punishment (and that's what this is, punishment and revenge, you're no longer in any danger).
2. The legal consequences of a criminal's actions should be proportional to the crime (isn't this in your Consitution somewhere?). I don't think death or even serious injury should ever be the cost of stealing property.
I don't care if the person grew up in a rich home, with loving parents and friends, plenty of opportunities and no need to steal, they still don't deserve capital punishment.
Which of these do you disagree with?
