OK my opinion on what you would have done is wrong. You are even more hardcore than me. I fully think that anyone who steals even a single cent has sacrificed their right to live. I also think that taking any government welfare or even taking a government workfare job is stealing as well. If someone wants to kill any of these people, I have zero problem with it. But I'm not going to personally kill someone unless I absolutely have to.

Shooting will prevent recidivism but I think being held at gun point reduces it by quite a bit but obviously not enough. These were teens, maybe they will learn not to do it anymore. You can't learn if you're dead. I'm hoping these guys are rethinking their life choices.

Anyway I'm off to a BBQ party at a friend's lake house. Toodles.
