I would get over it, and smoke a blunt.
And no, im referring to the Dobbiegirl.
You haven't had anything you really valued ripped from you, have you. It aint real easy to "get over it" the first time it happens, and only gets worse. Personally I work hard to get what I have. I have been the victim of a home burglary, a car theft, and a plant-napper (that's too nice a word for it) among other things.
I will NOT allow some lazy prick to just walk up and
TAKE my shit, and if
some how they do get my shit, god forbid I should find out who they are. Yeah, I'd say not so much bent on
HATRED, as sending a message that it's just
NOT OK to steal here. And if you want to be left alone, that message has got to be LOUD AND CLEAR. Criminals prey on the weak. If one doesn't want to use force, or at least be willing to use force if necessary to protect their own, god help 'em. I abhor violence, but have no prob using it when necessary. Sometimes it's the only thing some people understand.
When the criminal element begins to fear our citizens more than than they fear police or jail,
THAT is being tough on crime. Dobbiegirl is well within her rights to be mad, whether the plants were 16' or 16" they were hers, and I'm sure that she spent considerable time and money on them. If you just want to turn the other cheek and shrug something like that off, that's your prerogative. But if more people were righteously pissed enough to actually PROTECT their shit, Thievery, burglary, and robbery would dramatically drop. When we gave up our guns and our rights to defend our property, and left those things up to a "police" force, crime became easy and safe!!! Thieves steal because they generally
CAN get away with it. Cops are too busy busting dope growers and smokers to bother with theft. Besides, busting potheads easier and safer than busting a violent offender.
If turning a blind eye is working for you, God bless ya. I don't ask you to agree with my method of dealing with rodents (Sorry rats!), but you
DO NEED to respect my right to do so. Sometimes violence IS the appropriate response. It sux, but what are ya gonna do? I aint getting robbed again. PERIOD!!!
