Don't try to steal cars of people who can kick your arse. And since you typically don't know who the owner of a car is, just don't steal cars.

Gotta love the "justice system." The car thief will probably get a lighter penalty than the guy protecting his property.

Because human life still has a bit more value than an inanimate object, so assault and battery with a dangerous weapon carries a higher penalty than breaking into a car. Don't like it? Get yourself elected to the legislature or something.

I know you're a ________, however what makes this country unique is private property laws and your right to defend them.

Things like;
Exclusivity
Enforceability
Transferability

Did stupid cross some arbitrary line, ya he did. However, his reaction was due to the action of a common thief.......

Also, sorry to break it to you certain inanimate objects hold a higher value than human life. Do you truly believe a cancer screen devise is less valuable than Dylann Roof? I dont!

I'm not, either, but we also have a concept of proportionality. Kicking a man until he's dead (which could have happened had some cops not happened by) over a car break-in?

Nope. You really don't want to go to trial with that sort of defense.

Yes, congratulations: An X-ray machine is more valuable than a degenerate murderer. Maybe if we were talking about Dylann Roof shooting an X-ray machine, your logic would make sense. But we're not, and it doesn't.

And even if one could defend the argument of a particular piece of property being worth more than a particular human life, or even define that meaningfully, it's really asking the wrong question.

The real question is whether vengeance is worth more than preserving the processes and principles of due process. This country was founded on those principles, so you'd have an uphill battle for sure.

I can tell it either isn't Massachusetts or you haven't been here for long.

You don't get to play the property card for a beat down. This isn't Florida.

Also, please point to a clause in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights where you get to kill someone for touching your property. Take your time.

Enforce the laws that protect the victim but also protects the criminals, do I always like it, fucks no; would change for any other system of government, absolutely not. I can use a make over.

If everyone tool the law into the who hands, where would this county be. Equal force Equal force to detain not kill or nearly kill.

And to invoke the Roof or use as an anology, was fu..ing insulting and distasteful. Some hidden racist sh..t. Get a life looser.

Why are you assuming that all is as the stomper told it?

Inquiry is necessary - otherwise, you could claim that you killed someone because you caught them breaking into your car, when that someone was a person you had a beef with/bad drug deal/etc.

For those who rail incessantly about our supposedly lax judicial system, would you prefer living under the Taliban? They have some very effective punishments---stoning, beheading, cutting of hands, etc. The rigid and excessively punitive Law and Order approach has no place in a civilized country, although it may be reborn under our "enlightened" President-elect.
