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

    Sure, I advocate for that too. Until then…

    As far as I was aware the legal punishment for theft wasn’t…

    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.
