if you are violating some ones rights: When they objected...
No; logically, that does not work.
If it did,
then no successful pickpocket woud ever violate
his victim's rights on-the-job.

I have no idea what u mean (which is probably just as well).

I think the Roman's saw a difference between a mute instrament and a vocal instrament, like a slave... Oxen and mules do not complain for all the good it might do them... I think, being able to make the demand for rights is essential to having the right, and it is a problem for the environmentalist, or the PITA people that they must advocate out of sympathy for creatures that cannot advocate for themselves...

As far as pickpockets go, the complaint does not have be immediate... Hell, in injury cases they may give a person two years of more to file... Some times crimes do not become obvious, and yet they are still crimes...

@OmSigDAVID,
is it the pick pocket's fault, or the people that put him into the position of need for pickpocketing?

No one is innocent; and few are guilty.... We all play a part, and we all know some benefit from injustice; but only a few people play an active part in it all, and I trust, very often their benefit is slight compared to their crimes...

Nothing... We survive on death... Even plants grow in the soil of long dead plants... Life is crime... We cannot make it better; but we can make it ever so much worse..

@Fido,
life is no crime, or anything. your drawing a hard line between good and evil by saying that. the thing is, there is no evil, from any perspective. there just Is.

If life is will, then it follows that it is will against will, life against life, life against nature, self against self...

I saw Clint Eastwood make that distinction for killing an Elephant in a really great movie once... When another said it was a crime, he denied it was a crime, and said it was a sin... And I am guilty of that sin... I have about a foot of tusk, so I helped to kill an elphant because I could not bear the guilt of being innocent and doing nothing to prevent their extinction... I simply joined the other side, and accepted their guilt as my own... It took a load off, really... You should try it... What you say is true, that not all sins are crimes, but in an ideal world, the world none of us would fit, all sins would be crimes because the object of every sin is the same as crime: The Destruction of Community... It is easier to be guilty than innocent... A halo weighs more than a manhole cover..

When another said it was a crime, he denied it was a crime,
Whether it is or not is a matter of STATUTORY DEFINITION in the jurisdiction at hand.

But; your purity is beyond doubt or reproach...

You know; I know there is a debate going on now and since the beginning about whether man makes laws, or law makes men... The way Jesus said it was; Man was not made for the law, but the law was made for men... Some times sins clearly are made illegal, though this is often an infringment upon freedom... It is more essential to make the moral argument without law when law in support of morality is destructive of the freedom all people need to be moral... Law should never be, and never is only defined by statute but is itself, and should, be a definition of a moral form called justice... We create law to make real what we desire as a moral good... You cannot slide a knife between a society and its laws any more than you can slide a knife between a man and his morals; but you can clearly see where societies have been destroyed by bad laws, and where people have been destroyed with bad morals... People should always examine their laws in the light of their morals, and their morals in the light of their men because the quality of the man is the quality of his morals...
