You might be happier in a less civilized country. The U.S., we're too modern for you.
True, but I'd be even happier bringing the US back a century and a half or so, to when it was much closer to my prefered way of doing things.
The point...the one you keep missing... it's unlawful to play policeman.

So, when I call the far-righties 'backwards' I'm right on the money.

yeah its more civilized to coddle scummy felons.
No. Traditional is the appropriate word.
Setting America back 150 years ... vote Tigger.
The ol' west.
Where psychotics and sociopaths fought it out in a horse coral. Lawlessness. Corruption. Disease.
Tradition!!
And by "coddle" you mean not murder in cold blood.
if these guys were the murderous vigilantes you want them to be, the criminal court would've put them in jail.
or do you only respect the the decisions of juries that agree with you?
Jesus does not equivocate with his bullwhip!
Isn't that what you were doing? Maybe you can get someone to explain it to you?Spewing insults?
Try reading a few posts up...or is this selective amnesia where all double-digit IQ liberals identify faults in enemies and perfection in friends?
shhhhhh...don't confuse him with facts. his opinion is all that matters. :lamo
Yes, it is clearly wrong, but there is no sentence if you get away with it.
This is a great line of reasoning you guys have going here. Like, if you mug and rape an old lady, and you don't get caught, there's nothing wrong with it. Right?
Christians don't live by the OT. If we did we would be sacrificing cows, still."If a thief be found breaking up, and smitten so that he die, no blood shall be shed for him..." OT law.
You need someone to translate to you what this scripture means. The strong man in this verse is actually referring to the devil, which wouldn't satisfy your explanation."When a strong man fully armed guards his palace, his goods are at peace. For how shall the spoil the house except they first bind the armed man?" .... NT parable.
The Bible doesn't say that every man take the law into their hands and do their own "policing". In certain situations some states allow for you to kill someone that enters your home unlawfully. The thief in the OP was indeed a criminal and had no business entering their property, but apparently it was proven that the owners knew that he was coming and instead of calling the police and letting them handle it, took the law into their own hands. It is unlawful to do that, so they were also committing a crime.The Bible is not opposed to defending your home and possessions from thieves. "Thou shalt not kill" is not without exceptions, obviously.
I am pretty sure that the people who decide whether or not to do a criminal trial are actual experts on the law.
The fact that these experts on the law did not go through with criminal trial or even offer a plea deal means that these experts on the law know that these men did not commit murder.
You keep whining about facts but you keep ignoring the fact the shop owners did not go through a criminal trial.
If these men are murders do honestly think that who ever decides whether or not to go through a criminal trial is going to ignore such a case? Murder is a pretty big deal. There is evidence that one of the shop owners killed one of the burglars, there is also a confession, there is a witness and motive. This would be a slam dunk case for the prosecutor if was illegal for shop owners to use lethal force to defend their property including shops.
The point...the one you keep missing... it's unlawful to play policeman.
More dishonesty from you why am I not suppressed. NOBODY said that, thats some bull**** you made up that nobody smart buys
so let me get this straight, since YOU say in YOUR OPINION they got away with it that makes it true???
BUT for some reason they never went to criminal court even with a confession and a weapon? hmmmmmmmmm
Got it
:lamo

Would that be before we had indoor toilets? Or maybe just before we had air-conditioning? Or is it slavery that you miss? Aaah, the good old days.
In your hypothetical scenario, we only get rid of the 'trash' if the hypothetical you gets killed drunk driving home from T.G.I. Fridays.
By the way, lying to police with an Oscar Winning Performance... that would make you more guilty than the thief.
