And I am guessing he would change his tune if someone shot his kid for stealing a piece of gum from the store. You gotta be kidding me....

My kids don't steal. They know how I feel about stealing and they wouldn't do it. Why do you condone stealing so much? Do you agree that stealing happens far more often them murder? Why do you think that is? Because the punishment is less or do you think that they have higher moral standards? I guarantee you that people steal because the punishment is a hand slap. Now if you tell them that if you get caught stealing, you loose a hand, then you will have much less theft. You need a punishment that will deter people from being asshats. Loss of life or limb is a pretty good reason not to steal.

By all means, let's go for Sharia Law and stop all the stealing. OFF WITH THEIR HANDS!

I don't condone stealing, I just think you are full of it. I don't have all the answers, therefore I do not make ridiculous claims about what I would do, or what should be done in this or any instance.

If you found out your kid stole something, are you going to cut off thier hand? No. No you aren't. And not because you would go to jail, but because it's your kid and you'd have to be a pretty sick fuck to cut off your own kids' hand, or to allow someone else to do it.

You don't know me or my kids so stop making ill informed statements.

Well how dare you say that he wouldn't cut off his kid's hand, if he caught him stealing?

So you'd be alright cutting off your kids hand?

What if you caught your neighbors kid stealing? Would you like the laws to change so that you could take a machete to your neighbors kid?

Notice he did not answer the question of how we would feel if someone shot his kid. Saying "my kids don't steal" isn't good enough. What if they did? I don't know how old your kids are, but I highly doubt their personality & values will remain the same forever.
