In the process of being stolen then.
If you leave your car unlocked on MLK Blvd with the keys in it and of course it is stolen, are you not even a little responsible?
Foolish in light of the fact that the government tolerates and indulges thievery instead of curtailing it, but the thief is still responsible for the theft.
I believe we should live in a society in which people do not have to fear having their property stolen.
We should stop putting up with theft, but our bleeding heart courts won't let us do what needs to be done to stop it.
In the same way this homeowner was responsible for not paying her thousand bucks.
The selfie taker incident was an accident.
The homeowners incident was on purpose.
"We should stop putting up with theft". That extends to homeowners who don't pay their taxes.
I myself have no fear of my property being at risk for not paying a thousand dollar tax bill. I have no fear of my car being stolen off of MLK Blvd.
Certainly there are many things beyond our contol that might make us a victim of theft. Even theft by the state. But this woman's failure to pay? That's on her.
