Also an excellent point. I will never say I would shoot someone over property, but do I understand those who do? You betcha...I have said this many times, some folks won't protect themselves or their loved one, others won't protect their property, and others...on and on. I think that while one's belly is full and one has shelter, one can be more lenient and forgiving. But start taking these items away and one often becomes more elemental.Search found 1 match

Re: Man shoots vandal slashing tires at night, arrested
[/quote]To play devils advocate, what point is it ok to kill a man for slashing your tires. How about if it costs you thousands of dollars to repair? If it were theft of your property for thousands would that be ok? How about if you lost the ability to earn an income? If someone commits a crime and therefore you have loss of money (or income) has that not been money stolen from you? Vandals spray graffiti on your walls and you spend thousands to fix ( or the city fines you for not fixing). I know that legally the individual did not have the right to shoot for vandalism but how much financial loss does one have to put up with before one takes action? Having been the victim of vandalism at a time that I was broke and I had to spend a considerable money to get my car back in action it meant that the family did not have money for food or rent just so that I had wheels to go to work. Who knows what I would have done if I had cought the vandal.[/quote]
