Had he been defending it while it was in the act of being stolen it would be a different story; you can't just go around all vigilante style killing people who may or may not have stolen your shit.
Those who said call the cops and have them come with you.....thats the funniest thing I ever heard. In a big city you wont even have a live person even answer the phone, much less give a rats ass about your bike or situation. Maybe in a small town or suburb...but not anywhere else.
Coming at me on a bike...I may or may not feel my life is threatened. But that is my judgement. If I knew 100% this was the guy that stole my bike, as in I caught him in my garage or yard and he came at me on the bike, I would probably feel threatened for my life. If it was on a YZ85, I might have tackled, pushed or kicked him off of it.

I was replying to uptite who said "You people are idiots if you think a stolen motorcycles worth killing somebody for."
If someone enters your property and goes into your garage to steal your motorcycle you have every right to defend your property with deadly force. If you don't want to use deadly force and just let the guy walk out with your bike that's up to you. My point was that the law says you can use deadly force to defend your property.
It does not apply to this case. So that's three times now I said that. Get it?
I think your question should be, "Is any of your possessions worth taking another life over"
That's a personal question and answer.
If someone breaks into your house unarmed and wants to steal your 55" LCD TV screen, you certainly can go ahead and let him do that. However, most state law says you can defend your property with deadly force.
That's all I'm saying here. I do not disagree with your last sentence. Clearly no possession is worth your or your families life. But I don't really think that's the question here. Are any of your possessions worth defending with deadly force?
Like you said.... if someone already has the draw on you, you're not going to have time to pull out a gun.
I too am 100% for gun rights.
If the seller was truly the owner, then the seller would have a right to defend himself from these people taking his property. This gets a little bit sketchy because we are talking about a motorcycle and not a vehicle. I do know that many states treat your vehicle as an extension of your "castle" and that is why if you are getting car jacked at the grocery store you can use deadly force to prevent your car being stolen. I don't know if that is true for a dirt bike. If the dirt bike is on your property and someone breaks in to steal it then the castle rule applies and you can defend your property with deadly force.
I won't even flip another driver the middle finger if I am carrying for fear of it escalating into road rage incident that I would need to defend myself in.
That's exactly correct and I agree with you 100%. Perfect way to summarize it.
Pit Row
That's what gets me about most of these police shootings. Title of the article always says "cop shoots UNARMED robber." A cop isn't going to frisk a robber before shooting him. And everyone in the media needs to put themselves in the shoes of a cop before saying something so asinine.
Wisdom too!

Either way who shoots someone you "think" is a theif in the head? Thats uncalled for, what a schmuck
The big bad dirt bike that was going to run over 3 people that warranted a headshot. Totally worth going to jail over.
