I have become very disillusioned by our system of law and order in this country. My point was that had they finished the criminal bastard off then and there, they wouldn’t be sitting in prison now.

Didn’t they skuffle with crook before he fled? and didn’t he try to escape back across the border? I find no fault in shooting a fleeing criminal. Maybe that’s why I like the Dirty Harry movies so much.

Interesting. I have not read about a scuffle - violence against an officer would change the equation, at least to me. Its the difference between shooting into a fleeing car versus shooting into a car after the driver tried to run down an officer.
