I do understand the premise of "proportionality". I mean, if i were to see some teenage kid running out of my garage with one of my stereo speakers, I'm not gonna hunt him down and shoot him. I'd report the theft and hope the kid gets caught. And , knowing me, I wouldnt press charges as long as i got the speaker back.


Unfortunately, those of us who were born here have grown up in a country that has been violent since it's inception. Because we have so many violent criminals roaming the streets, it stands to reason that the response is going to be similar for the sake of simple survival. I would agree in most instances, the doling out of punishment should be left to the authorities. But sometimes, circumstances come up that you have to make those brutal life and death decisions...for yourself and the bad guy.
