You obviously can't grasp a foreclosed home is EMPTY and UNOCCUPIED. If you were still there in "your home," a sheriff's deputy would haul you off to jail. The indignation you express doesn't apply here, much less the inappropriateness of "shoot to kill" for vandalism.
I reject totally your suggestion that, if the perps do the identical damage to an occupied home, but refrain from harming the occupants or threatening them, no serious crime has been committed.
If a murder happens in the forest, and no one is there to hear it or witness it, no crime has been committed?
Your personal moral and ethics obviously prevents you fron grasping that the difference, from the perp's perspective, is zero. He/she/it isn't capable of grasping the difference either.
Your view of a civilized society isn't a place that I want to share. Sorry, Skippy, that's the way it is.
