Quote: if you see someone shop lifting does that give someone the right to go over and beat the crap out of them? if you see someone running a red light does that give someone the right to go over and run them off the road, slash a tire so they cant drive away? if you see someone breaking the law where is the line that you are allowed to act on?
You conveniently ignore the personal aspects of this. You are comparing apples to golf balls with your argument. Unless I owned the store , I would certainly drop the dime on a shop lifter to a store employee. If I owned the store , I would detain them using what ever means were at my disposal. If someone ran a red light and broad sided my car , I would kick a hole in them and wear them like a snow shoe.........and blame my behavior on being knocked senseless by the impact if the need arose. The line you are looking for is the personal affront. What's mine is mine. If you ask , I would have no problem with borrowing , giving or helping. If you feel entitled to help yourself to my property , I have a problem with you. There are degrees. But breaking into my domicile , whether it is on wheels or not , will net you the sternest possible reaction form me.
