Theft may not have been the only concern. Of course, all of this could have been avoided if the adults in this group had any respect for private property. Imagine you looking out your back window one day and some a-holes were ripping up your back yard with their ATVs. You'd be pretty mad too, maybe not mad enough to shoot someone, but you'd realize who the perpetrators/criminals were, and who was the victim.
They might not feel the need for lavish belongings. They might have moved there from California...

That is the case here, the jeep was not on private property, the people were only on the edge of the clearing to relieve themselves.

No way this is justified, a police officer would go to jail for using this type of un-warranted force.

You can't honestly think trespassing should carry a death penalty!?!

I believe that if someone trespasses on my property, in a state that says it's legal to shoot trespassers, that they have committed suicide, rather than got the death penalty.
If people are trespassing on my property when I've posted signs not to do so, I'm going to assume they intend to do me harm. What if one of those meth heads start a fire and it burns my house to the ground with my children sleeping inside? You would be happier if that happened than if I shot them for trespassing?
Why is it so hard for people to take personal responsibility for their actions? My property is not your property, I have a right to defend it.
