And what happens if they weren't actually intending to cause damage or steal stuff, but you didn't take the time to check and you kick seven bells out of someone who is innocent?

"Oh well, they shouldn't have been on my property in the first place..."

And what if it was *you* on someone else's property who gets the kicking when you were there for a legitimate reason?

"Oh well, it was my fault for looking suspicious"?

Yes, they have rights to protect them.

The purpose of our laws and our justice system is not only to protect us from criminals, but to protect us from *ourselves*.

Do you *really* think that vigilantes and lynch mob "justice" do anyone any good? Sure, you might be able to exact your "righteous indignation" on a criminal. You might also be kicking the hell out of some poor innocent who was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and that innocent may even be *you*.
