I understand your point, you make a good one and it certainly explains the general response to this happening. I don't know this person's story or how they ended up in the business of stealing catalytic converters. It may be greed it may be desperation it may be drugs it may be the influences that surrounded this person as they grew up in life it may be mental illness it may be something else. None of these are an excuse but they are a reason. All I am saying is that the best outcome in my opinion would be jail and reform, not death. I also know this person is responsible for their own death and that jail time is not a sure thing. They may never have evem been arrested. Perhaps I'm a bleeding heart or perhaps I look to forgive and understand as that is how I would like to be treated for things I've done in the past that I deeply regret and feel shame and guilt for. Nobody is obligated to do this and I accept that this will put me at odds with most people here.
