How about we put the blame on the criminal?
In this ****ed up world where the law is a behavioral modification scheme meant to control private acts, we seem to have lost the concept that crimes against property are extremely threatening to liberty and free enterprise. Apart from crimes against men, property crimes are the most serious offensive act imaginable. Now as it is, we put someone away for years if they happen to possess the wrong kind of powder or pill, but if they break into your home and steal stuff the punishment is far more lenient. That is severely screwed up and just goes to show how far we are from a just society.
And let's be very clear about this: The owner is not 5% to blame, not 1%, and not anything other than zero. There are two very important reasons for this. The first is the concept of culpability, lost on many. Second is the array of limitations the state puts on property owners who wish to protect what is theirs. Cut us loose to kill thieves on sight and to implement truly effective anti-theft (and anti-thief) devices and maybe we can talk about responsibility (culpability being off the table in any case).
