Yeah it would have been perfectly acceptable to kick the guys ass and restrain him until the cops arrived

Anyone arguing that its a good thing that he killed the thief or should be applauded has some very real issues they need to sort out

He has been charged with manslaughter. He apparently was beating the thief for at least five minutes straight before people pulled him away

Americans are notoriously bloodthirsty a lot of you will think this is okay.

The majority of the world approves of brutalising thieves, the world is not Western Europe.

If he was in CA he would get a slap on the wrist and sent on his way. They are cool with murder, in particular if you are an illegal that's been deported a bunch of times and kill someone in broad daylight. But he is in LA so might get 2nd degree or a manslaughter charge.

Depends on whether he meant to kill him. A man has a right to defend his property against thieves. If he chased the guy down and the thief decided to fight him instead of giving the wallet back, sounds like self-defense. However, if he already had the guy subdued and was taking some revenge, that's not as defensible. (And if the thief dropped the wallet after being attacked and the guy proceeded to deliver some street justice, that shit is approaching outright murder.)

So I imagine you think anyone that commits any crime should just be killed? If you park somewhere you arent supposed to should the cop just hang around and shoot you on sight?

It isnt about protecting criminals, its about having actual law and order and not violent anarchy. The implication that anyone thinks the victim deserved to be targeted is off base, thats what makes the theft a crime.

Should be? Depends the situation. I won't however punish the victim if it came to that accidentally or otherwise simply because said criminal has no business breaking the law in the first place and, in this case causing problems for other people.

Yeah silly me. The victim should have just shaken his hand or better yet gave him his house key too so he can rob the rest of his stuff. We at PotD reward thefts, ok?

He was well within his right to fight the thief and get his property back

He went well beyond that. You dont beat someone to death on reflex.

Law and law enforcement is to ensure those who are wronged will get their retribution, and the government responds impartially to avoid the public turning on it.

When somebody wrongs you, you should have the right to both defend yourself and doll out whatever punishment you feel is fit for defiling your sanctity. I don't approve of tracking down criminals personally if the criminal gets away as we already pay for the police to do that, but if you can get the criminal when they try to wrong you, I see nothing wrong with establishing exactly how little tolerance you have for being fucked with to the community at large.

In the thread about Crime Stoppers, you were very dispassionate, very "I have no opinion, my opinion is worthless, the rules are final." But in this thread, you're the exact opposite. Suddenly you're talking about what should happen, instead of talking dispassionately about the law. So what gives?

You don't get charged for murder because it's a disproportionate penalty, you get charged for murder because it's an unacceptable act.
