If more thieves were getting shot, there'd be much less thievery. That would be like removing a handful of sand from the beach.

Good for her. What a shame that she is now going to be harassed by the criminal justice system instead of receiving a medal as she should. Tragic. It should be open season on brazen thieves. Well its good to know "the system" is in place to deal with renegade geriatrics.... It might actually be beneficial if it ever gets to the point old ladies can get justice short of gunfire. I applaud her as a founding member of the new justice system for honest people.

The good news is that schitting on the cops at record levels will usher increased use of this system.

While I certainly agree with the moral of this story in principle....she'd better have been 100% sure the shootee was shoplifting.
I've been accused of it before, when (I guess) I turned just right when an employee was looking at me with something I was buying in my hand and threw it in the cart. I guess he thought I shoved it down my shirt or something.
Another time when I was in my 20s I put my list of things to get in my pocket when I was in a store, and had an employee insist I had shoplifted something instead.
Shots would have been fired back if those store workers who thought I had shoplifted, was like this old lady...

Some folks on here say shooting somebody over "stuff" is immoral, not to mention illegal in most locales. I personally think it should be nationwide as far as legal to shoot somebody stealing. Yep. The question of whether a fifth of Night Train is worth a life should be on the mind of the one doing the stealing. Each time I see a thread like this I am reminded of this meme another member posted on the meme thread. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/kRY9YwV.jpg)
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Hey, If you had a coon or something constantly raiding and killing your chickens and roosters you would shoot it. Not much difference. Interesting choice of words. Which ones? "Coon" in the present societal context. The coon was just coon fingering not stealing.
Life is good live it while you can.

These folks brazenly steal, without concern for anyone seeing them, because they know no one will dare stop them, and the criminal justice system has no punishment for them if later caught.

There was a time that stealing a mans horse would get you hung......... because they thought the very same thing!!! Though it weren't actual 'LAW'.... Don't recall a lot of stories about people going to jail for hanging horse thieves....

Note that the only function performed effectively by the cops and prosecutors in this incident is arresting the victim of theft.
There is a lesson to be learned here.
