This sounds great in theory, and I used to agree, but:

a. There's no guarantee against escalation, a property crime turns into a violent crime very easily.

b. Property crime can have a deep psychological impact on the victim - something the perpetrator demonstrably gives zero fucks about.

c. The police and justice system in 2026 don't care about prosecuting property crime. Having no recourse at all if you're being robbed (a common situation when defending your own property is effectively illegal because of the risk to the perpetrator) is grossly unfair.
