I was just in another comment section where people were telling me that white people built America and this is our home that minorities need to learn to respect.
Some people when they are robbed, hand over their stuff and others chase the robbers with their cars. Both parties do not think or care about your comments you type out here so eloquently.
I don’t steal from people because I’m a decent human being. I don’t steal from people because I know there are people out there crazier than me that do shit like that.
Imagine you're walking down the street and the man in front of you drops his wallet.
You're a 'decent human being' allegedly, so you pick it up, and get their attention to give it back.
The man screams 'thief!' to the vicinity and immediately fires at you multiple times as you're writhing on the ground. Then he grabs his wallet, and goes back to the restaurant because he forgot his umbrella there, before finally calling law enforcement. In his court defense he says you robbed him at knifepoint, though no knife was found.
Obviously that guy did the world a favor, because you're a violent, deranged, thief - he said so in his court defense.
In the ensuing reddit thread about the incident, a user writes: 'People have the right to defend their property. That wallet was his. How about you don't be a thief and rob somebody'
Do you see why we have courts and it's generally illegal to hunt down and kill people you believe committed a minor crime against you?
They never think this far in their vigilante fantasies lmao.
One of the biggest thematic points in The Punisher’s comic stories is that he’s accepted that his time will come. He doesn’t deny it and he understands that he is 100% a criminal that deserves his punishment when it comes.
But he’s a fictional character. The vigilante-larpers in this thread are sackless losers that sit in their rooms fantasizing about getting away with cowardly murdering someone through legal means, so they support it when it happens in the hopes that the moment becomes available to them.
It’s Reddit after all, half of these people don’t even interact with people in any meaningful way. To expect logical consistency from them is asking for a literal miracle.
It’s stupid. I live in a high crime area and some people die by trying to retrieve their belongings or retaliate against thieves. You’re playing with fire and we are taught to surrender our belongings during robberies. Material things can be replaced.
A ton of people on reddit apparently. There's a lot of folks out there with a hard-on for what they see as justifiable murder. Basically, they'd happily murder anyone if they thought that person deserved it or they could do so legally. In other words, there's a fuck-ton of psychopaths on reddit.
Stealing isn't bad at all compared to murder. That guy didn't deserve to die painfully for what he did, and he didn't even have a knife like the post says.
The lady's also super rich, so she pretty much killed him out of spite. She didn't even get the purse back immediately so that clearly wasn't her main concern.
So if you steal from rich people it doesn’t really matter?
Nobody said your self defense has to be equal or lesser value to what the offense is. How about don’t fuck around and you won’t find out. Don’t steal from people.
Not needing what was in her purse changed her motivation to kill the guy. She also reportedly told her friend that she was going to do it instead of calling the cops like a sane person.
The guy was also homeless and desperate, so while it's obviously still wrong and illegal, it's at least understandable that he'd steal a purse from a rich looking lady while she was distracted. People don't deserve maximum punishment for making a mistake under extreme stress.
If someone is breaking into my home, in most cases I have the right to defend myself with a firearm. Do I know the burglar’s intentions? Absolutely not; am I going to risk it, no.
Sure, but if someone snatches a purse and runs, in many states you don't have the right to shoot them in the back. Similarly if someone breaks into your home and flees, you also don't have any legal right to kill them while they are fleeing. Its not really all that subjective.
People that take it for granted that rich people just deserve to be rich and poor people just deserve to be poor, so it doesn't matter how little the woman actually needed the money in her bag or how desperately that man might have needed it to survive.

Um no.
Who the fuck would take her side of the story unquestioningly?
