I'm of the opinion, depending on what is being stolen from me, I would weigh whether I should kill the thief, attempt to stop them, or let them go.
Something precious that is connected to my wellbeing and livelihood, I would probably kill the thief. I'd rather sit in prison for murder than live with the knowledge the thief is benefitting from me by my property or by the charges they pressed against me if I attempted to subdue them.
No, I don't rate thieves very high in society or in humankind when they are just opportunistic assholes that do not need to steal in order to survive. This would include intentional wage theft.
Call me cold.
But if someone steals diapers and a loaf of bread from a multibillion dollar chainstore, I didn't see anything.
I've lived my entire life in poverty. I've had to fight and shed blood, sweat and tears for everything I own. I saved for years to build my new pc recently. I will defend everything I own with lethal force, because it's all irreplaceable. Damn the consequences.
I know everyone on Reddit has to try and 1up everyone else for good boy points, but I really don't care. I'm not trying to have a discussion on morality. I'm not going to suddenly change my mind and neither are you.
