Just a few of the early ones and everybody else reconsiders their strategy. What happens when you shoot and kill someone you think is shoplifting only to realize after the fact they were a normal shopper? Do you get a pass because you were trying to be a vigilante? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess you can't understand or respect that many, including me, feel the same way about Biden and his lying, corrupt family. Even his pitiful PR lady won't answer for him anymore.

Son of A Tiger 649 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Sure it does and you just want to dodge the question. I'll ask the question a different way.......if you owned one of the businesses with looters coming in and taking a lot of stuff and maybe destroying the business would you shoot them?

Doesn’t sound like they are stealing due to having hungry babies or being cold and homeless. Typical way you guys like to frame things. Not surprised at the statistics you posted. Think most people that shoplift do so because they can plus being sick. Not out of need. I would say require professional help first two times……shoot them the third time.

Son of A Tiger 649 Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 This is hard proof that the rioters are a bunch of leftists😀 Suspects rip off vintage store, but overlook glaring issue with what they took | Fox News 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icanthearyou 4,468 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Perhaps,,, instead of always thinking about being cruel and punitive,,, we should think about guaranteed employment. Shouldn't people at least have the opportunity to be productive? Would people be likely to respect private property if,,, they are respected as human beings? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People do have the opportunity to be productive. You know what makes them not productive? Guaranteed employment.

But second of all, using force to stop a thief (who is possibly breaking into your house where you and your family are in bodily danger) that happens to result in them dying is not the same as legalizing execution for thieves. Just ripping a couple of verses out of context as if that makes your case isn’t an argument. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
