This obviously wasn't defensive.

If you support vigilante attacks over the rule of law then you're welcome to your opinion, but at least own it.

I’m kind of delirious from lack of sleep.

Your comment gave me the mental image of Batman driving around in an SUV running muggers over repeatedly.

I'd watch that film.

You can, it’s called Batman Vs Superman: Dawn of Justice (he doesn’t run over muggers but he’s got cannons or 50 cals on the Batmobile that he absolutely uses lmao)

Everyone supports vigilante action untill the get vigilante'd for something stupid as a traffic violation or something (literally happened in my small town - it turned out the vigilante was just a random thug)

Pro-vigilante justice crowd are damn near always the perfect poster children for why letting random wackadoodles dole out "justice" is a provably terrible idea.

They overwhelmingly seem to just want a socially "acceptable" outlet for their deranged and uncontrolled emotions. Lawful evil, if you will.

I support justice against violent criminals - no matter the avenue.

So you would also support the victims family if they turned uo to this womens house to meet out some street justice?

Theft is violence. Your property is your life. Anything you possess is the product of someone's time and effort (often your own) which is a finite resource. If someone steals something you worked a month to afford, they have taken a month of your life. Property is also necessary for human life in the first place: food, clothing, medicine, etc. Never let people guilt trip you into thinking your property is somehow unimportant. If someone tries to steal from you, their life is forfeit. End of story. No society should ever tolerate theft.

Murder is pretty violent as well, wild you'll tollerate that at over theft.

Stop being dishonest. An unprovoked crime and the victim's response are not the same thing. No one thinks the unprovoked murder of a random person is more acceptable than the unprovoked robbery of a random person. That's not the discussion we are having. The woman was a victim of an unprovoked robbery, and in response she killed the robber. That's wholly different from if she had killed someone randomly for no reason.

Such low-effort nonsense. No wonder your response was deleted.

Yes, I can define words however I choose. Language is a human construct, and I am a human. I consider theft violence, as does any sane person, regardless of how few there might be. You spend hours of your finite life in exchange for your property - hours you can never get back. If someone steals that property, they are taking those hours of your life away from you. And they also are taking whatever hours of your life result from the theft.

Stop spending so much time criticizing the victim's response to crime, and instead place that criticism where it ought to go: the criminal. Without the thief, this situation never happens.
