The property.

Arson, even of property, is attempting homicide. Potentially murder

Which is more important, ignoring the law or enforcing it?

The property of the business owner is something that he has traded a portion of his life to accumulate. His property IS his life. The arsonist is taking a portion of the owners life.

The life of the arsonist should be forfeit to protect the life that has been invested in the business.

I voted accordingly.

Should be worded, what is more important? The life of a business owner who is about to lose everything he had worked hard to build OR the life of a thug criminal who is about to commit a terrible crime that could endanger other human beings.

False dichotomy. The real dichotomy,my is a no-brainer.

Which is a valid right and freedom?

- The Right to have and protect one’s property and livelihood (a God-given right and freedom), or

- The “right” or freedom to destroy another’s property and livelihood (not a God-given right at all).

Attacking our property is attacking our freedom and the means by which we ensure and protect ourselves and our family.

A random individual doing it is one thing. A political movement doing it is another. In the one case there may be some forbearance. ln the other case the politiCal movement should be dealt with.

I side with the business owner. The arsonist is affecting the lives of more than just the owner.

The life is more important in side by side comparison.

But it is the person’s to forfeit if he desire to destroy, and forfeit it he does when he acts to destroy.

Arson of a person's business cancels the history of his entire lineage.

As I posted in another thread:


Western European surnames are often based on occupations: Baker, Butcher, Butler, Carpenter, Cook, Cooper, Fisher, Gardner, Hunter, Mason, Miller, Potter, Smith, Tailor, Wheeler, Wood...

Families passed down their customs to the next generation. Towns only had enough population to support a few hunters/fishers and a butcher, a few farmers/gardeners and a cook, a carpenter and a mason, a cooper and a smith, a miller and a baker...


Their occupations became their identities and their role in society.

If somebody burned down someone's bakery and they were the only baker in town, their life as "the baker" is gone. Hosting the town's casual meeting place at "the bakery" is gone. Their legacy of passing down the role of "baker" to their children is gone.

People's life work, no, their ancestors' legacy work, is gone when a stranger deems that it's only "property" so it's okay to burn it down for a cause having no relation to the owner.

-PJ

If you attack property you forfeit your right to life.

The property of a business owner.......98.13% (157 votes)

The life of someone who tries to burn down that business...... 1.87% (3 votes)

Total Votes: 160

Methinks the poll is not going as they expected.

I about spit my dinner all over my computer screen. I expected the property to come out ahead, but not by that much.

Someone doing major damage to property needs to be stopped and receive immediate punishment.

Unfortunately a gun is the only weapon that guarantees these results, but it’s also unfortunate that it’s so deadly.

A property crime doesn’t get the death penalty in a court of law.

Being a thug is risky business. If he gets a hole blown through him, it is what it is, as Trump recently said.
