Poll: What’s more important?
* The property of a business owner
* The life of someone who tries to burn down that business
That was the point that I was trying to make in my responses the other night about the Police not shooting those burning the buildings on sight. They did not have to grapple or go hand to hand with them. They could use deadly force on sight. Something is not right here same with those burning the Portland Courthouse.
It has nothing to do with which is more valuable. The issue is, who is the one breaking the non aggression principle? “Don’t start none, won’t be done.”
The property.
Put me down for life of the business owner.
Why not ask what is more important? life or freedom!
No brainer.
The many lives and livelihoods that can or will be destroyed by the arson. These are the ONLY thing that is important here.
In AZ too.
The property.
When you come to commit acts of violence against others, you take your life in your hands. Whatever comes to you as a result...a beatdown, an arrest, a bullet....you deserved it.
If the Molotov cocktail is lit, shoot to stop the threat.
If not lit, give the would-be arsonist ZONE chance to surrender IMMEDIATELY.
And I mean SURRENDER and be arrested not run away to try again later.
One not zone. Dann autocorrect.
Arsonists should be cremated alive.
If it’s okay to loot, it’s okay to shoot looters.
Improper poll questions like these are why Biden is polling higher than he should be.
Lethal force can be used to prevent arson of an occupied structure here in AZ. I’m sure WI has similar statutes.
Better question — Whose life is forfeit? The felon with malevolent intent, or the Innocent serving the public?
Yep - horse thieves were hanged because they were robbing a person of livelihood - should do same today.
How about I beat him senseless with my gun and them light him on fire???
What do I win??
