The neighbor risked his life for a $20K trailer. Most criminals these days pack a heater and wouldn't hesitate to plop a slug into your forehead and leave you drooling on yourself for the rest of your life.

The neighbor was an idiot IMO. He should have parked his vehicle in front of the the thief to block him in and then run for his life.

Chasing after a thief is just asking for death.

I'm beyond belief on how many people are cheering for this guys irresponsible behavior.

Save your heroism for defending a persons life, not their trailer.

You're kdding me, right? "Most criminals" these days pack a heater? Where do you get that from? The facts of this incident basically prove your entire statement to be inaccurate.

Running away from danger is part of the problem these days. People don't have the courage to stand up for what's right or confront someone who's doing wrong. A man could be raping a woman, yet the 2 dudes over there in their mid-20's wearing skinny jeans and reading Twitter will pass right by because they don't want get involved over fear for getting hurt or confronting a bad guy.

Since when does someone's life have to be at stake to stand up against a wrongdoer? Before you take my wallet, you're gonna have to prove to me that you're willing to kill me for it. Then again, there's nothing in my wallet that's worth the bad guy dying over.

So you are saying a person being raped is the same as a trailer being stolen? I'm not and wouldn't respond to either scenario in the same manner. My response was directed specifically toward property theft. And yes, I will NOT risk my life for someones personal property.
