Funny when you think you know something but the facts turn out to be different.

I heard a story from a person whose house was consumed by lava. It seems some good samaritans broke into his house and rescued some of his stuff before it burned. Really! In this case all turned out well but I wonder how many of these somehow ended up in the looting column.

People have this misconception that it is the law enforcement role to protect life and property and it is not.
In the case of a middle of the night break-in, I don’t think anyone believes this. Wouldn’t the only way police could protect you if a thief broke into your home while you slept, is for an officer to be posted in every home, and catch the thief in the act? Otherwise police will always arrive long after the crook is gone, right?

Gdhsquare: "Missed your post. I apologize for the latter part of my post. I had a few beers in me and was being overly aggressive. Safe to say I was over the top. My apologies."
No, your text was fine (though we differ in opinion). It is me who needs to apologize. I was exceedingly rude and regret it. I stupidly misread one of your posts to another poster and thought you were trolling.

I know of one example. A Local resident shot someone that was ripping his plants growing in his yard. He got 7 years. The ripper didn't die though The homeowner/shooter Probably would of got more time if he did.
One Thing I can always be sure of is that things will never go as expected.
