Isn't this a good thing? Breaking into peoples cars is wrong, we want to prevent people from doing this.

Apparently it's a bad thing, since California virtually legalized car break-ins (it's not a felony, so it's not really investigated).

Would you rather lose your car window or would you rather sacrifice someone's life?

I'm fine with "sacrificing" a few years of life of people who decided to smash my car's windows, yes.

Honestly, I'm fine with 'someones life', because its not 'someones life'.

You're exaggerating the argument. Stop trying to justify social degeneration as acceptable.
