Well, WE ARE, right ?
How many crimes will thay NOT be able to commit,
as a result of our Houston friend 's ministrations ?
How many DVD recorders will thay NOT be able to steal ?
At least have the decency to send him a thank u note, with a few $$.

Do I understand you correctly?
You deem the crime of stealing a DVD recorder to be punishable by being shot?
I, like Dys, wonder if you have ever had a mental health evaluation.
Not "
punishable " under the current state of affairs; not like the Moslems cut their hands off.
(
If the law were amended such that larceny were punishable by death,
and the criminal community had fair notice thereof, that 'd be different. )
However, I most certainly believe that rightly,
if the defense of possession of a citizen 's property results in the death
of a criminal who tried to steal it, that is a good development
for ALL of us, except the deceased criminal.
He brought it on himself.
From the time of the criminal 's demise, forward,
we will ALL be safer,
and thus we all have cause to CELEBRATE
and offer our thanks to the defender;
( in effect, he defended all of us ).
