Assuming this was sent to me, I will start with you are absolutely right. And I do see a vigilante of sorts in the future for all the reasons you have stated. I am to that point for sure.
It is a Damned if you do, damned if you don't. If anyone should be shot, it should be lawyers[laugh]
The same laws that we are subjected to, apply to the police as well and the criminal although, that one totally eludes me. The fact remains, criminals have rights.
Add to this, the "politically correct" aspect and we are all screwed. Laws go out the window.
I live in the city. I hear gun shots. I find shot gun casing in my back yard and a bullet hole through the trailer in my back yard, just in front of my sliding door (imagine if the trailer had not been there).
I call the police. Show him the shot casings first, then the trailer. Got a case #...woohoo!. He then went to the houses behind. Cases all over the place, including larger caliber. Okay, he comes back with, they got the guns for Christmas and didn't know it was illegal to fire in the city. That was it!!!!! So, what happened to the ignorance is no excuse law.
It is messed up for sure. But, I still couldn't live with myself for killing a young person for stealing a TV or a watch....but anyone threaten my dog or husband, I will do what I must.
