What planet do you live on?

There isn't a single jurisdiction in the US were use of deadly force is justified in the case of trespass or to stop a misdemeanor act of property damage, much less any moral justification for such behavior.

Signed, conceal weapon carrying liberal.

If this is true why is the ignorant shooter charged with felonious assault, shooting somebody over the theft of a lawn sign is a bit overkill I would think, hardly reasonable force.

(E) Whoever violates this section is guilty of vandalism. Except as otherwise provided in this division, vandalism is a felony of the fifth degree that is punishable by a fine of up to two thousand five hundred dollars in addition to the penalties specified for a felony of the fifth degree in sections 2929.11 to 2929.18 of the Revised Code. If the value of the property or the amount of physical harm involved is five thousand dollars or more but less than one hundred thousand dollars, vandalism is a felony of the fourth degree. If the value of the property or the amount of physical harm involved is one hundred thousand dollars or more, vandalism is a felony of the third degree.


Lawriter - ORC - 2909.05 Vandalism.

First of all, I was making a point as to the stupidity of the shooter's response. Secondly, if I do something as crazy as hit someone, I'm gonna certainly make sure he won't be able to retaliate. That's the Powell Doctrine in action.
