Any of you remember that young punk (US citizen) that got caught vandalizing cars in Singapore 10 years ago? They sentenced him to 6 lashes with a rattan cane. Basically beat his a$$ till he bled and couldn't walk. Caused a big stink over here. In singapore there is very little street crime. Basically, you break the law, even misdemenors, you are going to pay for it. Anyone who fires a gun while committing a crime gets the death penalty whether or not the bullet killed, injured or even hit anyone.

If you catch someone breaking into your car in Texas, can't you shoot them?

That pisses me off to no end. I'm sorry to hear about everything.
If it happened to me, I'd go back to the same place and BAIT people.
Anyone ever hear the story about the sportbike guys in the UK? Motorcycle theft over there is pretty bad, and there were a lot of bikes getting picked off in this one neightborhood. A few friends got together... they would park a bike on a side street or alley. They'd wait nearby in a plumbers van, with bats and other blunt objects. If anyone came over trying to take the bike, they all jumped out, beat the **** out of the people/person, and split.
Rumor has it, that the cops were well aware of what these guys were doing, and did very little to stop them.
