If You See Someone Robbing My House, Shoot Them

Shooting Crooks Saves Court Time

Good post. Yeah, I head that audio and thought it was a greatest. Am I happy people were killed? No, but I'd rather they be killed than get away with ruining someone's life. As far as I'm concerned, when you engage in a crime such as murder, assault, rape, robbery, burglary, or even vandalism, the person catching you red-handed should be able to shoot you, and anything that happens to you is your own fault. Breaking in to someone's home is a traumatic violation that can deeply "wound" a person's sense of well being.

Re: Shooting Crooks Saves Court Time....

Ken,

I agree with you. I do not look forward to anyone getting killed. Even when I served in the US Army as a soldier, I was not looking forward to the potential end result as my assigned task.

The punnishment these days does not curtail crime but embolden them. It is getting to the point that the good are afraid of the bad and the bad are afraid of nothing.
