I don't answer ridiculous questions. Apparently you have never had your car stolen or some other significant personal property that made it extremely difficult for you to survive and support yourself or your family.

what would you say about a thief walking into a store and smashing a gum ball dispenser on the ground trying to steal a gum ball?

What a ridiculous scenario that would never happen.


So the options are petty theft that would never happen, or the other end of the spectrum, a theft of property upon which the very lives of the owner and his dependents rely.

Where along that spectrum does the justification to kill for theft begin or end, and upon what authority do you base that justification? Sure, theft represents a taking of the value of time, of which God has given us only a limited amount. How much of that time does it take to justify the immediate execution of the thief?

If the thief is trying to steal something that will ruin your life and cause you or your family to suffer greatly as a result then it's a split second decision that has to be made by the victim.

If the victim chooses to shoot the thief and the thief dies as a result then the thief's choice to willfully commit the crime in the first place is responsible for any negative repercussions to the thief for willfully making that choice.

looters used to get shot.

glad you feel its morally ok for someone to rob someone else, but morally WRONG to shoot that same person.
