I had an incident once where I came back to my car in the mall parking lot and found somone trying to break in. He took off when I confronted him, but car thieves can (and have) attacked the owner in this kind of situation. If that happens and the criminal is shot, isn’t the whole incident the criminal’s fault? Would the potential victim be charged with “escalating” the situation (for confronting the criminal instead of running away) by a politically correct wusses’ court?
I fear for the future of justice.
In the good ‘ol days, horse thieves were hanged.
