look, i hate thieves too, but in the grand scheme of things, its sad you would want to end someones life over some jewelery or lawn equipment. i grew up in jackson and hell, im an american citizen...im used to having **** stolen from me all the time. the worst offender is the state and federal government....screw some jackass trying to pawn my weed eater.
i used to think differently, but ending someones life over something like that just isnt worth it. rape, murder, molestation are different imo, but im not gonna kill some idiot for stealing something that cost me a few bills....and im kind of a "17 that ****, you picked the wrong house" kinda guy. at the same time, i think you are 100% in your rights to do so, but ive grown to value life even at its lowest levels...after all, ive done some **** im not proud of, as have all of us. people are stupid, people make mistakes...insulate yourself from stupidity, protect yourself and your family, and your golden.
