One media outlet stated that the guys were stealing the diapers and planning to sell them, not because of family need. This is probably what they have been doing with other items in other Walmart shoplifting cases.

It just Depends.

The guy that died had a long criminal record, scum removed from society.

The 50 year old black shooter maybe can sense evil.

If he needs a gofundme donation, he can count my family and friends as contributers.

The normal course would have been to get the license plate number and give it to the police, not physically intercede in a three against one situation.

As I said previously, I'd have no qualms firing if a human were in danger. But I refuse to shoot someone for a non-living item. I'm glad you can justify putting a human life before a thing, I can't and won't.

Depends on the " thing ". Tangible, or intangible ? If intangible " liberty, justice, and freedom " come to mind. Thugs knocking on the doors in totalitarian regimes in the middle of the night, as well. Heck, they probably are not even considered " criminals ". There is no tangible thing worth protecting ? How about safeguarding tangible property which if misused presents considerable risk to others. What if someone takes the life of a criminal stealing guns and ammunition which are ultimately destined for the " criminal " community. Let's say our diaper thief was instead loading into his car all the guns and ammo from Walmart's sporting goods department ? When it come to criminality do not the dominos seem to stand in a line ?

Be sure to post your receipt for your donation or some posters will call you a liar.

Was this given a lot of thought?

As long as it's ok with you if your families personal information were posted in this forum?

Please respond with a yes or no, thank you.

Mine was a tongue-in-cheek remark regarding some post in the Political Forum. A poster there made a facetious comment about sending in a donation for some cause. Another well-known poster berated him for days about lying since he would not post a receipt.

I meant no disrespect to you for my post. Accept my public apology, please.

Haven't read all the posts, but deceased thief was allegedly a gang member with outstanding felony warrants. Not "desperate " for diapers but instead a lucrative easy item to sell - a business which cost him his life
