>> Just feel like being argumentative today?

Maybe. :-)

>> So, why would somebody have to break out your window to rescue an imaginary dog, thereby leading to a “hollow point to the back of the head.”?

That’s a fair question, so let me attempt an answer. Someone who makes a statement like the post I responded to is the sort that TAKES IT UPON THEMSELVES to break the law to enforce THEIR morals. It’s the attitude, not the act in fact, that disturbs me.

Since we’re dealing primarily in hypotheticals, let me give you a hypothetical. Someone who says “I’m offering free broken windows to anyone who does this thing” is the sort who would actively SEEK the infraction so they could do something about it. You know, “While I walk out to my car at the mall, let me make a quick scan for poor doggies locked in their cars.” So this vigilante looks in my car... sees my jacket as a dog (because she WANTS to), and breaks my window. Oops! Look around quick to see if anyone noticed... whew! Pop in the car and leave. Lather rinse repeat.

Like I said, it’s the ATTITUDE that taking the law into your own hands is ACCEPTABLE — even ADMIRABLE — behavior in this society that chaps my butt raw.

Hope that helps.

Nervious,

Consider suggesting the use of a 911 call - an officer will be on scene quite quickly and can deal with the window without the good Samaritan facing consequences.
