I just thought it was an interesting choice for thread necromancy.

You are the only other person I have ever heard of who thinks of theft in the same manner as I do...as part of your time on this Earth being taken from you...but I would still have to weigh the decision to shoot someone over a theft before I did it because it may not be worth the time that some overzealous DA wishes to take away from me just because he or she wants to put another conviction notch on their belt...and I may not be able to afford a good enough lawyer to refute their charges over property. I don't WANT to ever have to shoot anyone, but if I do, I want to make sure it is for the most serious (and iron-clad) circumstances possible.PRO wrote:IMO, a thief does not just steal my property; he steals a part of my life. More to the point, I have a finite amount of time on this earth and when a thief takes my property, he has taken the time that I worked to be able to pay for the property. He steals the time I took to go and get the property , the time I have to work to replace the property, the time from work or whatever I could be doing while I replace the property and the time I have to spend restoring my property to the way it was prior to the theft.
All times of my life that I can't replace.
It’s a shame a hand of the thief can’t get caught in the revolving door of justice and be amputated as the Justice system cuts him loose. It would be really hard to steal rims with one hand.
Oh, and IMO, the thief that was shot owes the owner the cost of the bullet.

Were there charges in that case above?

No one has commented upon the original link that the homeowner AND his cousin fired on the thief.
So the BG probably caught multiple rounds.
SIA

Maybe the thread got necro'd because a similar situation happened this weekend: a guy on the north side of town was shot and killed by someone stealing his rims this time. All the more reason to A) not waste money on rims, and B) not go to the north side of Houston between 610 and the beltway.
