Whereas killing someone for stealing your phone will come with no trauma whatsoever?


Violence begets violence. A theft of a thousand plus dollar item is grand theft in the US. Ending a continual threat to society should be lauded not threatened.

How many thefts, by a single individual, is tolerable before society is allowed to remove the threat with permanence? Ten? A hundred? A thousand?

Some would answer one, single instance is enough for a weapons discharge. I would ask. How many times is allowable?

The criminal has no care for society, or its lives, so why should society care about that life?

Every life is sacred? Why?
