You say that like physically injuring thieves is a new idea. Enough societies have tried that over the ages and still had theft problems that it's pretty safe to say it doesn't actually work that well.

It stops that particular thief, and thieves deserve that fear.

Especially in America, that's just more likely to result in bike thieves carrying guns so they can shoot anyone that tries to attack them.

Because the US is well-known for bicycle thieves shooting victims /s

Even if it doesn't, crippling people generally interferes with their ability to be a productive member of society moving forward, potentially sentencing them to a lifetime of mooching and/or further crime.

So go further, kill 'em. Don't need that type of garbage, we have enough people of every order that don't steal that we won't miss them.

And you absolutely can defend yourself on your property. if a thief does come onto your property in some states you can take your gun out and blow them away.

In some states. States where the police didn't arrest them.

these people wanted a crime to happen and made it easy, and then went out and attacked the person. If they didnt have the premediation aspect(the whole thing being a set up) I would absolutely take their side

I don't care who you side with. Point is they only attacked him when he stole, he did the equivalent of poking a bear and paid the price.

I've spent my entire life living in an area with virtually zero crime, so ive never been somewhere with strings of break ins and theft and other crimes. But if I did, and i felt the police wouldn't do anything about it, I would take reasonable precautions to make sure my stuff is secured. Get it insured if it is stolen. get a dog, a security system, whatever. I would not bait criminals onto my property. They could have a gun or another weapon, and as somebody pointed out, perhaps the criminals don't learn a lesson about not stealing(because some criminals don't learn lessons too well) and next time they go cruising around your neighborhood looking for shit to snatch they bring a gun.

That sounds like a you problem. They're willing to take the risk to protect their own, you're not. You don't have to shit on other people because they don't want to make a faux-fort and let criminals do as they please.
