Don't act like yall wouldn't be upset if someone broke into your boat and stole a gps, 10 rods and reels, or a pistol out of your truck. Youndon't want to go through the hassle of insurance or trying to press charges. Nothing ever comes of that. If there were more harsh consequences, such as getting shot, the world would be a better place. Face it

I concur. It's a sad situation that somebody died over material things, but if more people died over good principals like "Don't Steal", then the world would be a better place because people wouldn't be resorting to stealing. people nowadays just steal to steal. it aint even like they need to to feed the family. they just doin it cuz its easier than working. And when the courts have basically made no real consequences for it, why wouldnt they continue.
Just about everyone on here posts up about how "they hate a thief" or "let me catch someone breaking into my stuff" every time a theft thread is posted. However now because a 15y/o got killed, you wouldn't shoot unless they're in your house and actually threatened. Fact of the matter is, ever since all these laws were placed, people are now scared to protect their stuff for fear of prosecution. Crooks now have more rights than the people they robbing. As soon as a shooting case opens up with the situation that the victim was breaking into ANYTHING thats not his, the case should immediately be dismissed. bottom line is DONT TOUCH OTHER PEOPLES THINGS!!!
i understand this shooting looks bad because supposedly they were driving away, but as stated before, the story seems shady and probably not accurate at this point.
