Bike Thief Caught Red Handed

[mustang1]

Some time ago I saw these two guys climb out the ground floor window of some house with a TV (this was way back before flat screen TVs). There was a cop nearby. I told the cop. The cop and I saw these two guys walking away with the TV. I cant remember what the cop said, but he ignored what just happened.

Go figure.

Reasonable force.....**** it. If someone is attacking you then they clearly are not bound by any law or any "reasonable force" so why should we be restricted by it?. Fight fire with fire I say. Theres nothing morally wrong with using overwhelming force in self defense and it will have the benefit of added deterrence to any future potential thieves or assailants. To the original poster - You should have grabbed a brick and threw it at the scumbags back as he was fleeing!

No it won't, they'll just come more "prepared" in future.
