People, stealing doesn’t carry the death penalty, what is wrong with you?

“People, stealing doesn’t carry the death penalty, what is wrong with you?”

When you live in their world where everything is total corruption and theft, you fight back. They don’t live in your country where you are reasonably able to go about your business and not have someone steal your primary wealth like a car, and if they do, it isn’t a big deal.

Live in their shoes then get back to us.

“stealing doesn’t carry the death penalty”

It sure as hell should! What the hell is wrong with you thinking stealing is OK, that somehow we should excuse it?

In Texas a person can kill a thief at night. Strangely, not in the daytime. So, yes, it does carry the death penalty. Don’t steal and you won’t get killed. How hard is that to remember??

Not entirely true. If someone commits a theft and someone dies during the theft, then they are held responsible. So if a lady dies of a heart attack because a theft robbed a store, they can be charged for her death.

The article doesn’t say the sons were mistaken for thieves, only the mom. If the mother died while adding criminals or if she died because of their actions, in either way they could be held responsible for her accidental death in a US court.

That’s why rule of law, not rule of mob, is important.

When authorities do not lawfully perform their duties, vigilantism replaces it. Then these incidents will occur more and more.

We are headed the same way in our country. When authorities do not properly charge criminals, how long before people justice starts?
