You do not understand me quite clearly. Loved ones means any age. There
is not the question (again). The things you keep - as Uncle Marvo
explained - are very important. I agree. But resorting to terrible
violence because someone has taken/damage them? This I'm afraid is not
in my book. I will not resort to violence for material things. I will
not worry myself sick for it either because, these are things. These
are not in my heart but my memories are.

Yes. YOUR memories are. What about those too young to have the memories?
Just today I talked to a Russian woman who has not one member of her family
left and has no knowledge of her own history. It's a big hole in her life.

But yes, to protect my loved
ones, my 83 years old Tonton Bernard if you need something more
palpable to my 4 years old niece, then I would risk anything for him or
her, but not for their photographs.

Your Tonton is still with you and I dare say there are many photographs of
him and indeed, I hope that there are for all your sakes. But in the case
of a young and sudden death, photographs, a piece of clothing, a message on
an answer phone might be all that is left, depending on circumstances. The
theft of such things is revolting and disgusting and I have no interest in
the finer feelings of those who perpetrate such crimes. Indeed, I have no
interest in the finer feelings of those who break into anyone else's
property and defile it by their very presence, or for those who seek to
excuse them.

And I have lost my mother, my grand mother, my grand father, never
known my mother, my best friend etc..... but I wouldn't resort to
violence because someone has taken a material thing of them from me.
Use your imagination as well. I am human just like you and I can also
understand the sentimentality over an object. I have lots of them.
Perhaps too many. But I don't care about them as much as I care about a
human life, any life even that of a scrote.

If someone hurts me or mine, however they do it, I have no more respect for
them or their welfare than they have for ours. However, what I might feel
and what I do are two different things but I could still have those
feelings. You might have fuzzy feelings for wrong doers who harm or hurt
others by their actions. I do not.
