"I was referring to the battery."
Fuck off.
Home (or storefront) invasion is a violent act. Theft is a violent act. We (all of us) have a duty to respond - with violence if necessary.
We need more good people like (psychomugs) in San Francisco and he deserves our thanks.
- sneak 5y agoPetty theft is not violence; violence is crime against a person's body. The only violence that happened here was the guy attacking the thief. In almost all cases, escalating a relatively minor crime into physical violence against a human being is the wrong move, and needlessly increases the risk in a situation. Grab the wrong person by accident? In a lot of states that might endanger your own life if the person decides to defend themselves. Escalating to violence over simple objects (property) is to have priorities out of whack. PS: be nice. I will not fuck off.
- psychomugs 5y agoPlay armchair critic with your hypothetical scenarios all you want, but the objective outcome of this ordeal was preventing a bad actor from getting away with a legally and morally unjust act. The only thing violated was his pride by getting caught by someone a full head shorter and probably >50lbs lighter than him.
