Great analysis of a very difficult situation.

The Romans 13 reference is a strong Scriptural basis for what we as Evangelical Christians understand.

It is wrong to break the laws of the land and commit murder even if we feel the murder to be somehow justified.

The ends do NOT justify the means. Utilitarian ethics do NOT apply when it comes to the laws of God.

Sorry, have to disagree. Sometimes laws are as evil as the monsters they allow to thrive.
