Here's a quick example for you.
A neighbor called and said someone was messing with my brothers car(4:00 AM) one morning. I went out in a hurry (underwear...no shoes) to see what the deal was. There was in fact an individual in the car breaking the column after throwing a brick through the window and removing the inside light. I grabbed him by the neck and slammed him into the steering wheel and to hold not to move(dialogue omitted for obvious reason). He had a partner down the street in another stolen car who whipped aroound and drove straight at me. Obviously the cars don't mean anythng to them , so he would most certainly have hit me if he could have. When the police arrived they get genuinely pissed that I hadn't brought the shotgun out and dispatched with them on the spot. I learned from that to take the gun and shoot first. I would do so without hesitation. These people cost us all a tremendous amount of money every year through entirely to many sources. Court expenses , incarceration costs , insurance rates...etc. I believe you all should own a gun and immediately shoot any one stealing propertty in your neighborhood whether it is your property or not. Do not hesitate , do not speak to them. Just pull the trigger and shoot to kill. That is the only thing that will stop it. There are certain types of people who consider the appropriation of other peoples property a way of life and to be acceptable. They obviously aren't going to stop ,or assist in the apprehension of others who do the same , so create a deterent that actually registers with their mentality. Prison is not the answer in the US due to civil laws. It isn't even remotely feared by people who know the system ,and doesn't work. Death is another story. IT WORKS! I work for everything I have. It is mine. If you are willing to risk your life to take it, I'm in S city... St Louis ,MO. I would have no problem, mentally , physically , or emotionally ,assisting you in departing this planet for the good of all. Anyone who has a problem with that mntallity is welcome to pay my insurance and the portion of my taxes this type of person heaps on or budget every year.
