If you are trying to take my property, I should have the right to stop you from doing that. No one is saying shoplifters are animals, but there are laws for a reason, they are part of what holds society together and holds back chaos. It also sounds like new laws should be passed to protect one against civil lawsuits when it comes to defending your property or having an agent doing that.

> No one is saying shoplifters are animal Then why say "all animals respond to violence". What is that supposed to mean? > but there are laws for a reason, they are part of what holds society together and holds back chaos. You're right, the rule of law holds back the chaos. Not empowering and encouraging vigilante justice. Oh sorry, I thought you pick pocketed me. Turns out my phone was just in my other pocket. Good thing I'm not liable for breaking your jaw! Better not swing back at me though, that would just be assault! Oh sorry, I thought you slipped a candybar in your bag. Good luck with the medical bills! Maybe in a few months you'll be able to walk again! And hey security guard Bob, you should definitely decide your life is more important than a few bottles of acetaminophen. Stop that shoplifter at all cost. We'll fire you after you stop showing up to work at the end of your FMLA though, good luck affording the rehab after that. What a wonderful society you have in mind. If only we just normalized street vigilante violence we'd be such a better place!

  Shoplifters are animals. So is everyone else. I guess GPT-4 isn’t an animal, but I’d hesitate to call it “someone”.
