Glad the couple won't be charged, but man - terrible situational awareness, especially with a kid in the car.

The Seattle Police will not recover stolen property nor assist you if you go to recover it.  I have known people who have recovered stolen bicycles or motorcycles, and the key seems to be bringing a group of your friends that are visibly armed.

You are a *expletive deleted*ing retard if you walk into a hobo jungle without an overwhelming display of force.

I guess it is also too much trouble to keep an eye on those people when they wander off into nearby neighborhoods.

I would say par for a liberal city but the police don’t do jack *expletive deleted*it here either other than take a report. But you shoot one thief…

Again, the fact that we haven't seen more people taking matters into their own hands when they are denied justice by the system shows that we Americans are a very civilized people.
Not always a good thing.
I would not be surprised to a steady increase in vigilante justice in the coming months.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

Agree that they didn’t think it through.

As for caliber for miscreants, 12 gauge buckshot will do.
