This demonstrates a level of attachment to an inanimate object that I hope I never experience. I'm familiar with how cars run better after they are washed, and how my own motorcycle had it's "moods" (it was 18 years old after all) but to equate a motorcycle with a member of the family is scary, and to sacrifice family events and relationships to get this thing is IMHO, pathological

Actually, no you don't. You only have the right to shoot someone if your life is threatened. If you shoot and kill someone for attempting to steal your property and your life was not threatened, you go to jail.

Probably the same thing that happened to "the rule of law", people only choose to believe in it when it's convenient to them.

To think of all the "few good women" wouldn't of had the pleasure if bike thief got to you first. Congrats for scoring a few bimbos because of a motorcycle.

Depends on where you're at. I believe in the State of Alabama, you have the right to protect life AND property. I'd have to look up the law to be sure though.

Once you have left my property, I wouldn't chase you down and shoot you. That would create more legal problems for me, than I would want to be involved with.
Look, the guy committed a criminal act and got hurt while using the item he stole. Stuff happens. I feel sorry for the innocent person that had their vehicle/property damaged in the wreck buy a criminal. Now his insurance will have to pay. And you worry about a nut job that got hurt, doing something he shouldn't have been doing anyway? The really bad thing about this, is now this jackoff will need medical care the rest of his life if he survives and who do you think is going to have to pay for it? Care to guess?
I know what you mean about the puppeteers. Sheesh, they have a bunch of them now teaching in colleges, good grief.
Stupidity can get in the way of common sense.

Prosecuting attorneys salivate for guys like you two. You make great fodder for skins on the wall. You really don't have any such right at all. You may get away with that in Texas, but I doubt it, given your bravado.
You have to prove that your life was threatened, and that you had no other way to escape. This is true even in many states with Castle Doctrine.
And even if you aren't criminally prosecuted, you have much less restriction for civil suits...all over inanimate objects.

I find it hard to have remorse for a crook, but I certainly won't cheer for needless bloodshed.

I read through this entire thread, and I haven't heard the following argument:
What if the person injured on the bike wasn't actually the thief but had purchased the bike from the thief?

What if he stole the bike from the thief? Would the original thief be happy that he crashed and would the owner feel sorry for the injured thief since he screwed the guy who screwed him?

You sound like such a cheery guy. I don't know about you but I would be terrified and incredibly depressed to have such a power. It would be similar to immortality in that it sounds cool in a Michael Bay movie but to have such a power would be so mentally exhausting and frightening.
I understand the anger and fear involved in having possessions stolen but I would be incredibly saddened if I had wished something like that that on someone and it actually happened. This is not an eye for an eye. I personally would want to get my bike back or to get one of equal value from the insurance company. I would not want to feel like dismemberment of the thief is the best ending.
Also, what ever happened to "I wouldn't wish it on my wort enemy"? I guess losing a leg and having a long fight for your life isn't on that list.

You are exactly right. It is truly sad that the thief would do this to himself. what a moron he must be. Regardless why he chose, the fact is he chose and has reaped the consequences.

This is an interesting thread.
I don't think anyone was wishing he would kill himself on the stolen bike.
question...
Suppose this was your bike, not this other guy's, I wonder what emotion would you actually feel immediately and then say a few days later if you found out this happened?
question...
Did this guy deserve what happened to him?
on a side note, I am tired as a taxpayer having to pay for criminals disabled by their own criminal actions....
