Warb mentioned taking the law into your own hands? The law has nothing to do with it, it is my property being taken, I have a right to defend it. I am not attacking the guy because he is breaking the law, I am attacking him because he is taking something that belongs to me.

I think you've misunderstood me.  When I was talking about taking the law into your own hands, I was referring to situation where the robbery had already taken place and the thief left the scene.    You don't go and try to find the thief yourself and take revenge, you call the cops.   If we are talking a theft in progress, I think you have every right to defend yourself and your property, within reason.    Self defense in the middle of a theft is one thing,  taking revenge after the fact is another.

It was strange to read that a William Peter Blatty (an author and director I greatly admire) is a big fan of The Passion Of The Christ.

Why was it strange to read? Was The Passion that awful? I never saw it.

I actually think its pretty good.
