I really believe that we as a nation have taken the touchy feely philosophy too far.
These guys knew they were breaking the law. They assaulted the man for money (note assault, we don't know of battery was involved but that would be worse). They did not show any compassion or regard for this person's rights or health. Why the fuck should they be shown any different?
There's a farmer in Britain who shot a burglar after having been robbed several times. Guess who went to prison as the danger to society? Now that he's up for parole, it's being argued that burglars have a right to be protected from this maniac and that he should remain in jail. Is this where we're headed?
Sheep are never going to be able to live with lions. Not unless they have the means to kick the living shit out of any lion that tries to mess with them regardless of how they were raised as cubs etc. etc. . Sorry, but that's the way it goes.
