Obviously, there are many types of people in this world. Some are sympathetic to the whole human drama, some are not, and some are driven by their situation. For instance.
A very conservative middle aged lady was a co-worker of mine many years ago (once upon a time if you will). She was all about capital punishment. One night, her scumbag of a son decided to steal a motorcycle from someone's carport. That someone came home, with some friends and caught him in the act. Well, six broken ribs, a ruptured spleen, fractured skull, broken arm, and several broken fingers later...he spent months in the hospital.
After she told me the story she asked me (rhetorically) "Did they have to beat him up SO bad?"
My take: You steal from people, you takes your chances on what they (or a bystander) will do if they catch you.
