I think thieves deserve what ever happens to them. But I still think its a shame when innocent people get caught up in it by accident. I think the laws & society are too lenient on thieves, especially in districts who have no self defence laws. Around here, if somebody jumps you & you fight back, you're both charged with assault. Our local laws don't see it as you defending yourself, you're as guilty as the person who attacked you. Only one thing will make you exempt..... it has to be obvious to the observers eye that you are physically disabled. Between this & the leniency on thieft, our local laws really do protect the criminals.
-- I thought these asses were my friends for years. Then my Dad died. He left me the house, (needing repairs), & through no fault of his own, a bunch of bills. Both he & my mom had long lingering illnesses before their deaths, so the bills piled up. A few days after the funeral, here come the brothers saying 'share the wealth'. I'm like, 'what wealth?' They say, come on man, we know he left you some money. Ah, the money in the bank goes toward the hospital bills & ballance on the funeral. The only money flowing around here flows out of my pocket & into the hospital, you know, the ballance of the bills. A few days later I came home from work & found I'd been robbed. The house was nearly emptied, EVERYTHING out of my grow room, plants, lights, fans & ALL. Since the grow was gone, I called the cops. They left a crow bar & a couple beer cans behind with their prints on them & all over my bedroom & got three years for 'day time burglary'. Long story I know, but now its all out war with them. They're still dealing out 'pay backs' for me sending them to jail. All I got out of that was the reputation of a 'snitch', so now I can't even buy herb!
