Did the Black South Africans have apartheid start by leaving their fellow countrymen with the hopes that their neighbors would kill everyone in that country and they could then take their shit? If not, it isn’t comparable. Did the white South Africans get their land by winning multiple defensive wars against agressive…

I mean...how much do you want to help a government that has in its constitution that it wants you all to die?

Doesn’t that article basically state that Palestinians and Jews tend to share the same heritage, making them both native to that land so no “stealing”? This is two groups who come from the same area fighting for control, not an invading force trying to take over (like we did here in the US).

I have no real insight into the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, but isn’t it a little bit of an oversimplification to say that the Palestinians are the “natives whose land is being stolen”? That whole area has been in a near-constant state of turmoil and war since the beginning of recorded history. The fact that the…

“Every opinion that I don’t share can’t be serious.”

I’m sure Hamas bears absolutely no responsibility with the deaths of those pawns Palestinians.

Let me first start out by saying that I really support Israel and really don’t support Palestine even though I find them intruiging as a people. I have empathy for them but these “murders” were self defense against terrorists trying to enter Israel’s country which is sacred land.

Well that remains to be seen. But the death penalty doesn’t apply to stealing, if it did most of Wall Street would be dead. Not to mention firing a gun in public how many people on the street could have been hit by a stray bullet. Or is it your contention that’s the price of doing business? 

Alleged theft, mind you. Which even if true, doesn’t deserve vigilante killings.

The only time I would engage a person with my gun is if they break into my house while I’m there, or are putting my life at risk and I can’t run away. If someone is breaking into my house while I’m there, it’s not my property I’m worried about, it’s my life. It’s a different scenario than a kid stealing a beer from a…

Nobody is saying it’s ok to steal beer. They’re saying that it’s not ok to shoot someone over it. You’re actually the person in your last sentence. Talk about irony...

It’s not normal to be executed for stealing a beer. Stealing isn’t right, but punishment for petty theft isn’t death.

If you think someone stealing a beer deserves to be executed, you need to reevaluate your morals.

As a gun-owner, it is people like you (people who don’t see the difference between shooting someone for stealing one beer and shooting some in self-defense or in defense of others as they are being shot at by someone) who make me realize that we are in drastic need of gun control policies. One “good guy with a gun”…

They’re here, didn’t have to wait long. People with any ‘IQ’ don’t steal, you see, because everyone knows that means you forfeit your right to life. /s

Considering that they found this kid down the road and it was the shopkeeper who shot him, perhaps your comparison is inapt. Just because it allegedly arose from a convenience store doesn’t really make it like all those other situations. Okay. Try to keep up.

You’re a fucking moron. It’s not a capital crime. No one was endangered. Report the crime to the police; he knew who it was. You need to take personal responsibility for your own goddamn stupidity.

It’s this type of thinking that gets people murdered. Let’s not hold anyone but the perpetrator to any standard. This is exhibit A for the reason you need a license/training to carry a weapon.

So is shooting someone in the back over a petty theft as they are fleeing your property. And he did odd jobs for the owners, so he may have thought he could just pay for it later since the store owners knew him. Which is the kind of stupid infractions teenage employees make all the time. Normally, they get fired over…

A life over a beer. One beer. So now he’s taken the kid’s life, saddened a family’s life and ruined his own. Really thought that through there. What happened to “hey, stop!”, then you know, let it go. Go tell his family if it really upsets you. DON’T SHOOT HIM IN THE BACK AND WALK AWAY FOR HIM TO BE FOUND DAYS LATER.…
