One guy boxed up all his dog poop and left it out to get stolen... what does doberman doo bring and the pawn shop these days? --- End quote --- This one is good! :-DD --- End quote --- I know that I won't be bringing my Doberman's poop to a pawn shop to find out. That dog could knock a buzzard off of a corpse wagon at 20 paces. :-DD |

--- Quote from: SparkyFX on December 21, 2018, 06:46:43 pm ---Sure... but in the moment the injury is premeditated, you define that a financial loss equates to injure someone. You´d be in bigger trouble then - locked up in psychatry or jail. Because the proportion of this is not to be defined by the perpetrator. How many dollars for an arm/leg/eye, whats the rate today? I am sure this looks cool on the big screen, but this is real life. There is obviously a cultural gap when even on a forum with plenty of time to think of an answer people can not distance themselves from an initial, emotionally determined reaction of taking blind revenge. That alone is hard to discuss and ends strongly political. I´d personally rather leave the discussion then. --- End quote --- Well let's remember that in many states in my country, it is perfectly legal to shoot and kill somebody who enters your properly illegally. It should be common sense not to walk onto someone's property uninvited and steal something off their porch, and indeed in areas where this sort of thing is widely permitted, it very rarely occurs. It's more than simple material possessions, it feels extremely violating to be a victim. There are certain activities, climbing up a power pole, scaling a cliff, pointing a weapon at a police officer, trying to walk across a highway, etc that are very likely to be lethal. Sensible people don't attempt to do these things, they are very easily avoided. |

There is an article that part of the video was a fake anyway: https://gizmodo.com/viral-video-of-glitter-bomb-for-package-thieves-exposed-1831254130 --- Quote from: james_s on December 21, 2018, 10:08:22 pm ---Well let's remember that in many states in my country, it is perfectly legal to shoot and kill somebody who enters your properly illegally. --- End quote --- Trespassing laws, of course they are there to be able to react to a threat to yours and your family´s health and life, so you have it legally sorted out. But i don´t think they cover building trap devices in packagings that bait thieves. --- Quote from: james_s on December 21, 2018, 10:08:22 pm ---It's more than simple material possessions, it feels extremely violating to be a victim. --- End quote --- I know, but feelings can go away, money and most items can be replaced. Limbs however do not grow back and usually people do not arise from the dead. It is a questionable judgement to put these things equal. Of course i despise thieves and a slap on the wrist alone is not sufficient. But jail time, the subsequent criminal record & employment problems and paying the debt back is also a punishment - absolutely no need for vigilante justice that gets oneself into jail. |

Those parts are no longer present in the video. |
