Yes. One cannot overlook what would have had happened had these career criminals escaped. It is virtually certain that they would have continued to live as predators. Eventually they very likely would have confronted and injured or killed some innocent person or persons. Better that the guilty die than the innocent become their victims. Society owes a real debt of gratitude to valiant senior citizen Horn.
