But if the pg was running away and he chased after him and killed him that is not good for him if he was running away and was no longer a threat to him personally.

My Grandpap in Oklahoma Territory once tracked a horse thief down into Texas but lost the trail.   He swore he would have killed him if he found him.

I have a very old picture of my maternal Grandmother's family and relatives, all standing on a hillside with their horses, including women and a some children.   The occasion was the hanging of a cousin for horsetheving.   He claimed he was innocent.   Why did we stop using common sense concerning crime?
