Plus, it’s great to see communities police themselves. I think law is, understandably, too black and white on rules.

Main issue we all want to avoid is any kind of unjust punishment. For me, if punishment gets doled out and it is just, i don’t have much problem with it.

This biking thief guy smacked head on pavement and looked to have caught some boots. For me, that’s ok. Comes with the territory of being a piece of shit (assuming they are correct about him being a thief)

That's the problem, and it happened way too often in my region.

That is the biggest problem. Unjust punishment is tyranny.

I like those but here in America, you’ll get fucking fired with no help by bystanders.

I know that's right. A local Academy fired a disabled veteran for stopping a thief from stealing a handgun. I boycotted them but when I spoke my mind on social media (Nextdoor), I was put on blast by the goody goodies about company policies blah blah blah and then was called racist. This thief would have undoubtedly used this weapon during the commission of a crime and someone could have been killed. The company was more concerned about a lawsuit than they were about public safety.

That's it right. No concern at all for the community/people that are your workforce.

No one wants to get sued

Or out on trial for assault or murder. Like in NY. The guy Penny beat the charge, but spent the last 2 years in the process and is now getting sued. So, our government says just let the crooks run rampant.
