So at what point do you stop trading off things as long as you don't get killed. can they take your vehicle, your family, your freedom??? when do you say enough and take action? If you let them get away with it, they will just come back for more stuff. This is the type of thinking that allows dictators to come to power: Safety at all costs, instead of FREEDOM at all costs.But I'd trade my TV and DVD collection, and my family photo albums if it meant that nobody got killed or seriously injured.
This argument is as old as the news media.
Why was (whomever) shot for just stealing (whatever)?
People aren’t shot for petty crimes, they’re shot for threatening others with death or serious bodily injury. Everyone's heard the statement from the idiot bystander, "Why could't they have just shot him in the leg?" Or, my personal favorite, "He was shot for just stealing a TV!" All nonsense from the uninformed.
The ad hominem argument that anyone who supports this man’s actions must be some knuckle dragging, trigger happy, illiterate, inarticulate, drunken hillbilly is ignorant. Maintaining life is not as important as liberty. Don’t be cowed by the desire for political correctness.
Ultimately, two people are dead and one person may or may not be going to jail for their deaths. The two dead people are the ones responsible for their own deaths. Had they stayed home smoking crack they would probably still be alive. Again, they’re the ones who decided to engage in high-risk activity. They knew, or should have known, that within the full spectrum of possible outcomes were both “getting away with it” and “dying from gunshot wounds.” They chose to accept the risk, obviously hoping for the former and not the latter. I have no sympathy for them and hope the shooter “gets away with it.”

Why is one assumption ok and the other not?
One is much more likely than the other.

Yeah, he's probably a Klan member, because he shot two criminals, who weren't black.

Police have not found the families of the dead men, who both are in their 30's. One had identification indicating he was from Puerto Rico, the other had paper indicating he may have been from Puerto Rico, Colombia or the Dominican Republic, he said.
Pansy.
