    Instead of arming civilians for vigilantism pressure should be put on the government to deal with the root causes of criminal behaviour.

    As far as I was aware the legal punishment for theft wasn’t the death penalty, but here you are saying a citizen dealing out that punishment without a judge or jury isn’t only acceptable but should be actively encouraged.

      Sure, I advocate for that too. Until then…

      There’s one weird trick to not being shot for stealing shit.

        You’re just trying to deflect from my statement:
        The criminal punishment for theft is not the death penalty, and you are actively encouraging vigilantism issuing death sentences without a judge or jury.

          I don’t care. Like I said, in some states you can employ deadly force to keep someone from making off with your shit. I do not value those people more than my property. Straight up. I’m not deflecting or side stepping or mincing words. They’re trash and I do not morn them should they be shot and killed during the course of taking things that aren’t theirs.

            I would once again like to remind you where this conversation started:

            When the solution is “Vigilantism” you know the situation is fucked.

            Not only have you shown you lied with your original argument on “self defense”, you’ve also revealed that you are a monstrous person who simply wants the excuse to murder “undesirables”. Dehumanizing others is an action encouraged by terrible people to excuse abhorrent behaviour, and they should not be listened to as their words and arguments are less than worthless.
