For me it's one of those situations where I don't agree, but I understand. Not for basic goods obviously, but I won't shed many tears if someone gets killed while trying to steal someones phone/car/bike/etc. Like, look at Brasil. Are you saying it's pathetic for someone to shoot a thief who just jumped off a motorcycle and tried to snatch their purse?

I just feel the more pathetic of the parties is the one trying to steal.
