How can you make excuses for the looter here? He deserved what he got.
I can't stand people who think we should just stand by and wait for the police to save the day. Those clowns rarely show up on time, and usually the damage is already done. What happened to self sufficiency?
I don't believe he was taking the law into his own hands, I believe he was taking the safety of him and his family in his own hands, and you cannot take that away from people.

You can't be serious. if you can't control your emotions when someone is stealing so mething you can easily replace you have issues. If he was so concerned about protecting his wife and himself he wouldn't even have gone in the house. I don't know about Taber, but around here if the perps are still in the house when the call is made the cops come screamin' After the fact there is no rush, but if they can catch them in the act they try very hard.
BTW I didn't make any excuses for the looter. I don't feel sorry for him, I just don't agree with the vigilante approach. You are proposing a society that takes the law into it's own hands, slippery slope. Say you bump into my car in the parking lot and try to drive away, I get pissed off and bust your nose? Did you get what you deserved?
