Ever been close to someone who had a child?
I can't imagine you've been that lucky, but there was a guy long ago named Hicks that you'd know if you did, and it's kind of a big deal.
So, what is your point?
Same in South Africa. You pretty much end up broke trying to prove self defence in the courts after a home invasion
The best way is to have an unlicensed firearm handy. You shoot to kill and your defence is that they pulled the firearm out and after a scuffle, you got the firearm and used it against them.
An unlicensed firearm here can get you minimum 5 yrs in the chooky.
Quote "An attorney advised me to never put up beware of dog signs. In court, they can use it as an admittance of a dangerous dog"
You gotta be kidding, right?
That is plain lunacy. Can't get my head around that. I mean, there's a dangerous dog behind the wall. The sign tells you the dog will attack, yet you still climb over.
Now the dog owner can be sued????

Had work tools stolen twice, would happily have seen the thieves thrown on top of a bonfire and turned to charcoal. Fuck em.
Thieves are more protected than victims in this country.
Years ago I worked at a repair shop that mostly fixed ride on mowers and snowblowers. They also sold new equipment like trimmers and chainsaws. The store was converted from an old swimming pool store with a large display pool in the back that we fenced off since we had no use for it and customers weren’t allowed back there.
One night a thief jumped our gate and broke into our display area taking a few new chainsaws. He tried escaping with them out the back jumping over the fence. Little did he know he was jumping into the deep end of an empty swimming pool. We found him in the morning crying in pain with a severely broken leg still trapped in the pool. Long story short he sued my boss and ended up with a settlement. My boss also now having higher insurance rates and they also made him fill in the pool.
I think it's called "attractive nuisance". Fences usually fix the problem, but too often "a jury of your peers" aren't your peers at all.
Wolfman is from Australia, it's likely his lineage is convicts sent to a penal colony, so no surpise that he sympathizes with thieves.
Reading through this thread is no doubt an eye opener. Some are totally against crime and agree on enforcement of law and punishment. Some on the other hand are the root of the problem. Which is acceptance of crime. Crime is so common that many including some on this thread take the easy way out and have an excuse and accept it.
States with high crime rates like my home state of Oklahoma would sure enough be way worse off without harsh punishment for crime including the death penalty. States like Oklahoma, Texas, Alabama have harsh penalties for crime for a reason, if they didn’t crime rates would be much worse.
Public hangings were for a reason and it worked like it or not.
It’s kinda like this, a lot more horses would have been stolen before the turn of the century if it wasn’t an hanging offense. They hung horse thieves up until 1910 ish. I assure all you lite on crime guys……..if motorcycle thieves were hung there would be a lot less bikes stolen.
In my best Oklahoma accent, I ain’t got no use for a thief. A dirt bike may not mean much to some but to a a blue collar guy that can’t afford a 100k bass boat or a new Corvette, it means a lot.
I ain’t got no use for a lite on crime libs either.

Deport Them All!!
Nithya Raman, a California Democrat , literally made a speech blaming Toyota for having catalytic converters that are to easy to steal. They also blame Hyundai for having cars that are to easy to steal. TO EASY TO STEAL ! Until they know what the real problem is it can’t be fixed.
Flat bills are gay
Yeah, I am sure some zipcodes are different than others. But on a national level, property crime has been trending downward for a long time.
I am pretty sick of the very few righty's on here that want to gloat like they're a righty and we're tough on crime. Its just those damn libs that are softies.
Never generalize.
I live in Texas now. Compared to other states I've live in (7 total) its very high on crime and the courts are relatively soft on crime.
I've had a nearly new $53K pickup stolen here in TX and I had a nearly new dirt bike stolen when I was attending college in my home state.
So I have the same attitude that I'll chop your effen hands off! Being a victim, changes your outlook.
I'm also a gun owner.
I vote blue, so to the few righty's quit generalizing us because we truly as Americans have a shit ton in common. But y'all really piss the fucking hell out me when you put me in a box, with a bunch of media driven dividing bull shit.
Only read the first page but holy shit some of you are fucked up.
MN At Gen Keith Ellison sued Kia and Hyundai for being too easy to steal.
In a perfect society, keys are not even needed. Small town MN, people dont lock doors, leave keys in cars. Inner city MN, its expected that the house gets robbed and car gets stolen.
Democrats are braindead
Pit Row
it's true. we used to adopt rescue Rottweilers and were advised to have signs. My wife also has to put up notices on her horse arena here in CO. Many RV parks and campgrounds have a list of dogs that are banned by their insurance companies for being too "dangerous".
Is South Carolina full of progressives?
Wyatt Earp stole horses and didn't get hung?
*Hanged*
"Hung" is an entirely different conversation...
I think the exact circumstance can make a big difference.
If somebody jumps the fence to steal something and gets bitten by a dog, they probably aren't going to have a case against the homeowner. Even if the homeowner has a sign that says "beware of dog".
The issue is that if that dog ends up biting somebody who was not committing a crime, then the sign can be used as evidence that the dog owner should have taken more precautions to prevent the dog from attacking somebody. Things such as a kid jumps over a fence to get a ball, the dog escapes the yard, a fireman has to enter the yard, etc.
Should every "righty" take offense to this like you did when folks were saying "lefties" are soft on crime?
Nuts, this is just a hop and a skip from “don’t have nice things” or more crudely “she was asking for it”.
You seem like a run of the mill left thinking person.
Punishment has to fit the crime, but we also must recognize which party is the damn criminal. I get absolutely torqued when I hear about somebody suing a homeowner because he hurt himself while trying to rob the guy. No; the person doing the thieving is in the wrong, full stop.
I don't need the media to tell me how every single blue politician votes on every one of these issues. Your feelings are great, but your vote is the thing that carries consequences.
Lazy arse cops, or Governments that won't increase the budget to allow a larger police force?
This is a world wide issue.
Unknown , maybe his parents would've served as the ones teaching him the lesson .. as it should be.
At the time all I wanted was some version of revenge for having been made a victim, turns out that was a rather hollow aspiration.
