It is quite understandable, but shooting a thief in the back when they are leaving is not smart.
Yep. He’d get the same charges in most states here. Can’t shoot ‘em the back, no matter how much they need it.
“but shooting a thief in the back when they are leaving is not smart.”
Yes it is smart because a back is a large target. I would recommend several bullets in that back.
That depends on whether by "smart" you mean an action that is good for society or an action that looks good in court.

You're right, expat2, but that doesn't mean I care for such laws. Where the bullet holes end up in violent criminals really shouldn't matter.
