"Good burgler = Dead burgler"

Burglary and robbery are very different crimes. These guys were armed robbers and very dangerous. Don't equate them to burglars who only break in when no one is home.

Agreed. I just don't stipulate any difference between the consequences of the two behaviors. If someone breaks into someone else's home - burglary or robbery, to me it makes no difference. The homeowner is not obligated to inquire of the perpetrators their intent.

Robbery, Burglary, and Breaking & Entering are all three are different crimes. These thugs committed first degree burglary. (Entering an occupied residence at night.)
An unoccupied building is Breaking & Entering.
Robbery is forcably taking anothers possesions.
This could be classified as Home Invasion but not robbery.
