But, some theives will think those plants are worth more than YOUR life.
i can say with a lot of confidence that we're not dealing with a hardened criminal or even a semi-intelligent thief here. we're dealing with some of the dumbest kids imaginable. so just keep in mind that this is just a kid's life we're talking about. pretty sure we all did really dumb stuff at that age and some of us can say we're lucky to be sitting here bullshitting about it.

A $200 round of golf helps too.
chambers bay is up to $205. don't forget the caddy, that's another $70, and a $60 tip will earn you a dirty look. was planning on heading out there soon until the break ins started.

This post exemplifies the psychological divide between the "gimme class" and the "fuck you, work for it" class. First off, it denigrates the SYG law because it is "idiotically written", no specific objection to any part, just idiotically written.

What specifically is wrong with a law that says, in essence, "if a person has a right to be where he is, and is not committing a crime, and does not start a violent confrontation, and is then accosted with violence and reasonably believes his life and limb is in danger, that person has a right to use lethal force to defend himself"?

The post then ends with, "Hell, why not just make it legal to shoot looters..". Are you so unaware of recent history that "Looters will be shot" is a pretty standard threat in the wake of natural and man made disasters. Is it preferable to you that Hurricane (tornado, earthquake, riot) victims become the "midnight madness sale, everything must go" aisle in society? Is this your idea of "social justice"?
I think you took my post way too seriously but I'll stand my ground that SYG is a poorly written law. It's too ambiguous and can be interpreted in too many directions. Making it legal to shoot looters makes much more sense than the SYG law that tried to say that, without actually saying that, does.

edit: ftr I'm definitely on the "fuck you work for it team" so we definitely had a disconnect there on what I said, I was high though, so it could have been one of those makes sense to me things.

Fair enough. My apologies for not getting it.

I think the SYG law deserve its own thread, where those who object can make their reasoned case for their objections. I would honestly like to see those reasons. In fact, I shall start that thread just after I post this reply.

You should get some cameras, or at least a baseball bat ;)
