I agree. People ask if I think an item of property is worth someone’s life? My response is that is something they should have thought about before they took it. I do not believe you should have any reasonable expectation of safety when stealing. Furthermore, I ask what you call someone who works only to have property taken from them on a whim. Most people will answer a slave. I remind them that the civil war was allegedly fought over slavery, that the 13th amendment guarantees that I cannot be anyone’s slave, so by shooting a thief, I am protecting my 13th amendment rights.
