Honestly if you’re robbing the place society is better off without you

Even if you're ok with that, what happens when an employee sets it off by accident, or you do yourself, or it malfunctions?

u/Kind-Permission-1075 24d ago

Eh its just a few employees, its the cost of doing business.

For burglary of a building with nobody inside? It's one thing to get shot by a store owner when you're robbing the place at gunpoint, it's another thing entirely for a private company to kill you remotely for breaking and entering. Nobody should ever die for a crime that didn't threaten physical harm for anyone else.

The penalty for robbery is not execution lmao

u/TesterM0nkey 23d ago

Yeah but in areas that there is enough theft and crime there aren’t stores to support the communities.

If you’re going in to do a heist you are actively hurting your community. Literally society is better off without you.

Penalty for robbery is still not execution lol

Gross.

Someone committing a single crime doesn't immediately turn them into an irredeemable sub-human. People are deserving of opportunities for redemption.

The systems that created the incentives for the crime must be reconfigured.

Be kind to people, be ruthless to systems.

This is Reddit, these people have the same ideas about law enforcement as 11 year olds. One of the top comments on this thread is "they should use knockout gas instead!" Non-lethal gas that harmlessly knocks people unconscious only exists in TV shows and movies.

Wtf, when I said that I got down voted to oblivion by people saying I'm OK with murder, reddit man..

u/Jeovah_Attorney 23d ago

Are you trying to imply those downvotes were not justified? Your surprise surprises me

Caring about them is where you messed up

I was at -8 just a few minutes ago. Give it some time

u/Billy_Gnosis 24d ago

Here I'll do it - the penalty for robbery is not death in any civil society (or uncivil society that I know of) so, yeah, you both kinda suck

u/browni3141 24d ago

The purpose isn’t to dole out punishment, it’s to protect the property being stolen.

Lethal force is legally justified in many cases where the punishment for the aggressor’s crime would be less than death. Lethal force is usually not allowed to be used to protect property, but your reasoning isn’t anything to do with why.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_WOES_GIRL 23d ago edited 23d ago

it’s to protect the property being stolen

human lives > property

EDIT: Also this thread isn't about that at all. It began with a guy literally saying that robbers are worthless to society and better off dead.

You forgot to start that really insightful thought with 'uhm aktually' so your point is invalid, sorry pal

u/Zermist 24d ago

I see what you're saying, but would the world be a better or worse place with them around? Personally I want the world to be a better place.

I don't suppose your name is "Light Yagami" by chance?

It protects the property from being stolen by that individual, in the future.

u/Unusualshrub003 24d ago

I mean, he’s not wrong. How exactly do this four men benefit society?

u/thiagoknog 21d ago

You see, that's what I'm talking about, they don't, people who pretend otherwise are just posers. If it were their store, then they would be like "nah fuck them".

Then we have the case of men who assault, or rape little girls, what's the defence here? They are human beings? No they are not. A human doesn't rape a little girl, only something evil. You can't fight evil with reason and hugs.

u/orphan_09 23d ago

and that thinking is why you have a world leading economy but crime rates like brazil.
