We hanged horse thieves because it left a man stranded in life or death situation in remote areas with hostiles around

You cannot equate that with this

Have you been in some areas of large cities? The slap-on-wrist response to crime has bred us a whole population of hostiles. I'll stick with my original response. Moreover, as dozens of people have pointed out, she wasn't shot for shoplifting. She was shot for dragging him with her car, suggesting that a thief is only one situational development short of a murderer. Someone who doesn't give a hang about the law is inherently dangerous, as this chick proved. Sorry, can't dredge up a drop of sympathy for her.
