Seems to me the value of my life is a judgement for me to make; and the value of a thief's life is a judgement for him to make. If he's stealing under circumstances where the law allows him to be shot, or just under circumstances where it is possible, then he made the decision that the stuff he's stealing is more valuable than his life. In order for him not to get shot for stealing something he simply has to refrain from stealing.

While I agree with you, I only wish it was indead that clear and easy.

Just to play devils advocate, even though I understand what you are saying about the tools, as I make a living off of mine too. But, you will also not be able to provide while you are locked up. It still goes back to my original point. What is the dollar amount you put on a human life? Where is the limit? How much are you willing to spend?

It does boil down to confront and flee vs. confront and attack.

In a nut shell it all boils down to what you think a human life is worth. Because that is what they are going to ask you when you end up in court. Is a human life worth the price to replace a radar detector? Or is it worth a lot more. Cause I bet when you end up in Civil court they are going to be suing you for a lot more than the price of a radar detector.

Now before I get jumped on, I do believe in protecting ones life and property. But if somebody you approached is running away, no reason to waste the bullet. You are no longer in immendant harms way.

Just my 2 cents. Take them for what they are worth. 2 cents...
