If they hadn't had committed theft, of course they wouldn't be in the situation. That doesn't make the old mans actions correct or noble with the best intentions.
What?! He was just protecting his freedom to be able to own something. You know like our forefathers. The one's you dared me not to speak of. LOL
The ones I also said didn't fight for materialistic possessions yet you keep trying to link it to that. That one? I'm saying it again.
Stop discrediting the mentality of the revolution with your petty materialistic mindset.
EDIT: To add, no one is taking the side of the thieves. You're putting words in our mouth because we disagree with you, and you think skewing the situation aids your ignorant replies.
We are saying BOTH PARTIES were in the wrong. And if you're too thick to understand that, I'm sorry.

Imagine if the guy killed was told to pick up the trailer by his boss. Now imagine it was you. This is why we have laws against shooting people.

Well said. No one should question the taking of life to defend a freedom as basic as property ownership. No common sense anymore ..

Fighting not to pay taxes. That is about as materialistic as you can get. If you do not think it is, then you need to reconsider your conclusion. As far as the old man being wrong? I think not. He was doing the world a favor. Oh and I noticed you didn't respond to the last part of my post. lol Yeah I don't blame ya for that one. It is nice when we can pick and choose our arguments.
Edited to add that I am not belittling the revolution. Nice try at discrediting though. With how it seems you believe you would have just let England have whatever they wanted. Without even a fight.

Some people just love to follow the letter of the law.
In truth he should not be punished for defending his property. People have a right to their property.
Or are we going to start putting CCTV on every single street on every single town in the country from now on in order to "protect" citizens?

I shoot people over a trailer, especially illegals. If you are going to steal my property, be prepared to pay the ultimate price, Your Life.
