play stupid games....Man killed a catalytic converter thief and dragged the body behind his truck, police say, this one cuts both ways

If the guy was living in his truck. It can be considered his home and castle doctrine would apply.

The man will walk free after trial with a good lawyer.
I hope he does too.

In hindsight. He should of shot the fucking thief and drove off.

property defense laws and protections are
sourced from Ex. 22

1 “If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.
2 If the thief is found breaking in, and he is struck so that he dies, there shall be no guilt for his bloodshed.
3 If the sun has risen on him, there shall be guilt for his bloodshed. He should make full restitution; if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.
4 If the theft is certainly found alive in his hand, whether it is an ox or donkey or sheep, he shall restore double.

He should of shot the fucking thief and then cut his hands off with the sawzall.

How was the guy who got shot supposed to know that that catalytic converter didn't belong to him?

And therein lies the problem. Yes, the truck guy WAS THE VICTIM but when the agenda is to destroy a society, maybe not!!! You must destroy anyone who makes a stand. Protesting does not cut it, only action does.

Fixed your spelling error up there for you champ.

Maybe he can plead temporary insanity and get a lighter sentence.

I'd have driven away with wheels smoking even if it took a neutral drop to do it.

One of those Vroombrrrrs

It's against the rules.

I would never have given the guy a chance to crawl out. I would not have allowed time to even think "oh, it started and is running!, no it would have been VROOMBRRR

WTF ?

So it would have been okay for him to steal it if the guy wasn't in the truck?!?!?!

I live in the country and have a miles wide, very deep river near me. All that would be found is his abandoned vehicle on the street.

Are you actually this stupid in real life?

If there was no "patch of lubrication" that felt sort of like ice or spilled oil on a speed bump in 0.35 seconds or less after starter engagement --->fail

Ever try to hold someone at gunpoint?

Shooting the guy was stupid. Now there is explaining to do. But who the heck could ever confirm VROOMBRR was on purpose?

All I can say is the victim handled this wrong. It could have all been easy. Body in back after a nice burnout, and the beautiful mississippi . . . . .

Well when you stop prosecuting crimes because of muh privilege then expect people to be ok with criminals taking from people you should expect dead criminals.

I agree his only mistake was dragging it.

I may get angry at thieves, but know enough about social justice to stop the truck with a wheel on him, and not waste valuable fuel dragging his corpse to a field.

You should take up catalytic converter thievery.

Not gonna get more than a few hundred bucks and even then, youre not gonna get that without exctracting the metal from the honeycomb filter after powdering it. And then refining it. Lol.

By the time you were done, you would've made more working at an actual job in that time.

There's the rub... Working.

Stealing the catalytic converter was certainly "working" for the P.O.S. under the truck.
