Yes, I completely agree. If someone breaks into my house, steals my tv, and attempts bodily harm, I will shoot to kill. If they have my tv in their arms, with no weapon and no intent to do me harm, and are too stupid to drop it, when my weapon is pointed at them, then they can have it. I will call the police, and file a claim.

If someone is in an unoccupied Circuit City, with a tv in their arms, and no intent to do anyone any harm, I do not believe they should be killed.

The scenes I saw on tv, did not warrant anyone being killed. If apprehended, an LEO could very easily have tiewrapped or handcuffed the looter to a street sign, and let them sit in water, until they could be taken away.

In this case you aim to maim, not to kill. A shot in the arm or the leg will suffice.

In the current situation, that could be days later...which would itself be a death sentence.
