Well said. In theory I agree that being shot dead should be a reasonable workplace risk for a thief. In practice, assuming he did set him up and shot him dead, that seems to me to be a bit more cold-blooded than society is willing to accept today.
lol Preferring a toaster does not necessarily equate to not being able to tell the difference. In fact, preferring the toaster pretty much requires being able to tell the difference.
Meh...me and one of my cousins got peppered with rock salt when we were kids (I was 9)...we got caught raiding one of his neighbors' watermelon patch on a warm summer evening.
Getting shot was painful as hell...but having it picked out and then soaking the rest out in a hot bath was even worse...
Personally, in this case and the Minnesota case, I think the homeowners were justified in their shootings. Thieves should be killed. Whether it's by those from whom they're stealing...or by the courts following a trial...If you catch a thief...you should be able to shoot the fucking fuck.
Armed robbery, burglary, forcible rape, child molestation...those are just a few of the crimes that should carry an automatic death sentence.
Don't break into my home & steal my stuff /= get off my lawn. That's an amazing level of fail, dude. You should work for the government where that level of fail is richly rewarded.
Morally it would certainly be easier to take had these people peppered the perps with rock salt and bacon rind rather than lead.
no offense intended, and I've liked many of your other posts, but most the time I see anyone type amirite I deduct 50 IQ points in my mind.
For the geography thing, me too - although for obvious reasons we in the South tend to not have that problem. lolNo offense taken on my part, if you've never been to Idaho or Montana you're the one getting the short end. As for 'amirite', I rarely use it, and only use to ensure my derision is evident.
For some reason, people ripping on other people or cultures because of geography has really been eating at me. Don't know why, just pisses me off.
So now the dead kid was here as a guest of our country? Several years ago in FL, foreign tourists were targeted as they were an easy mark due to naivete of bad areas and trying to cope with FL drivers. When some deliberately targets foreigners like this, I think the judge should have authority to increase the maximum sentence by upto 50%.
They are guests here, and to send them back in a casket really gets at me too.
I had in-laws in Washington State and have been there,and grew up in the Midwest, I'm sure I know the mental set.No offense taken on my part, if you've never been to Idaho or Montana you're the one getting the short end.
