I don't think what the "Sharpies" are doing is right, but shoot to kill? Out of proportion.

I strongly disagree.
Knowing the cost and years of effort that went into buying and maintaining my home, having a mob destroy it might make me snap.

The appropriate response is a matter of collective decision by society, and the circumstances that trigger the decision. I can see it happening.

Why don't you run a test?
Publish your address on line, let the criminals trash it and let us know if your arrogant, holier-than-thou opinion changes.

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.
