People's Rights

What right do people have to take something that is not theirs? I feel they have no right. Stealing is stealing no matter how big or small the item is. Maybe some people feel they have the right to do this because it previously happened to them, but that still does not make it right to do it to someone else. They should just realize how they felt when this happened to them and use that as a guideline to not do it to anyone else.

No i do not feel it is right to take away someone elses' house if they did not know it was on stolen property. I feel if you do not know something you should not be held accountable for it. Yes, the people could have been a little more careful in finding out the history behind their land before they bought it and they maybe should have to pay the amount of the land to the person it was stolen from but their house should not be destroyed because of someone elses' mistakes. This would be wrong to do because more than likely a person invested time and money into their house and that is their only home. it would be very devastating to see it demolished and on top of that the person would be homeless.
