It's the right wing way! ==== I disagree with that. I have called the cops on white kids who were acting in exactly the same way. Suspicious behavior is what it is and totally color blind. Yeah, you did the right thing, you called the cops, you didn't kill the kids. === Yes, but it's easy to envision a scenario where things could have gone down quite differently. Suppose one of the kids had started to physically break into a car and the police had not yet arrived. Would you stand by passively or would you attempt to intervene? If you intervene in any way you run the risk of attack. If attacked, would you defend yourself? In the civilized world, you're not supposed to use deadly force to stop property damage or theft. The best thing to do when someone is stealing a car and you are observing the theft is to get a terrific description of the perpetrator so you can give it to the police. ==== That's not the scenario I raised. If you observed someone breaking into your house or vehicle, would you confront them? If you do confront them, you run the risk of attack. If attacked, would you defend yourself? |
