That is an incredibly huge leap from stealing my property, don't you think? A good one though, worthy of an anti.

for you, if that works, great. It doesn't for me, so who are you to tell me that I should let all thieves and muggers take my property? is it my property or yours?

The dude who steals your car doesn't need to be shot. And the guy who got shot after trying the taser? He probably would've been okay if he'd co-operated.

and all you are doing is promoting the idea that it's ok to steal shit that belongs to someone else, just do it 'peacefully' and you won't have to worry about any consequences. what a crock.
