Farmer not a vigilante

ASRG,

It is very difficult to change expectations: when those in charge/gov's are willing to steal from future generations to pad their pockets in the near term.

No wonder the next generation is annoyed and sees this injustice.

We were broken into about 7 months ago, our shed, while we were home. We lost alot of possesions some of which can be replaced, some not. The feeling of intrusion and anger is hard to describe, and the sleepless nights continue to this day. Until a person experiences a situation like this themselves, it's hard to cast judgement upon those who have. Our area has been hit repeatedly by a specific group and it's too bad that something like this case is going to happen sooner or later. Unfortunatley, sometimes a line has to be drawn in the sand, and Mr Knight did just that. I totally agree with farmaholics comments, its the justice system that allows this to continue. The police cannot be blamed 100%, as usually their hard work is rewarded by a sentence that is unbelievably soft, as in this case.
I have a plan for when my theives return, as they will, protecting my family is number one, but it's unfortunate that I have to be put in this situation. It makes a person wonder who has more rights, us or the thieves.
Good luck Mr. Knight, it's too bad judgement is cast on you for a situation you did not create.

No haters please, just my opinion.

We were broken into, everything vandalized.
Bumpers pulled off all the vehicles. Grain trucks
rolled in the fields. There were great tire tracks,
muddy fingerprints everywhere. Cops came out
and were photographing their own tracks. They
did absolutely nothing when everyone knew who
the culprits were. NOTHING! They said go to
your insurance. In other words, "dont expect us
to question anyone." if they would hold a few of
these nimrods up, maybe we'd get results.

In the early nineties I got ripped off. New house. Kicked the door in, even though it wasn't locked.
Useless cops came out and didn't do anything. Two neighbors got the same treatment.
Insurance covered about 15% of actual value.
When coyotes steal your chickens what do you do?
When human coyotes steal your stuff what should you do?
Use the famous three "S" policy that Ralph Klein suggested for cattle during the BSE crisis.

Just told that the safest thing you can do is simply phone the police. Otherwise; just abouut any course of action you take can get you into serious trouble.

Looks like the justice system is just as flawed as the other compents of our supposed democratic system.

Its getting hard to be positive about communities; justice administration; democratic rights and secrecy/privacy.

And this is happening under the watch of various government leaders, appointed officials, the justice system and especially the citizens who can't/won't do anything about it.

Thats how cynicism and disenchantment turns into selfishly preserving and promoting personal interests.
