Debate: killing bad guys, really bad for you?

[Arthur Dent]

Alright Syn,

Mistake #1: Never count your change while walking anywhere. Count it at the counter quickly, then put it away. Flashing cash is trouble. Period.

Now, pushing the guy through a window? That's a pretty hard shove! Alright, it was probably 20 years ago, so it was plate glass which shatters pretty easily.

Shooting the guy coming at him with a drawn gun? Justified. It's self-defense.

Coming back with a can of gasoline and lighting up the guy in the window and the guy he shot is cold-blooded murder.

Self defense laws say you are justified only in doing what is necessary to protect yourself or others from harm. If the guys on the floor in excrutiating pain or unconcious, he's no longer a threat and you have a legal obligation to contact the police and have him arrested, not kill him.

Unless of course, your in the middle of the woods and you know the guys going to get up in 5 minutes and start hunting you down like an animal before you get anywhere near help.

But anyway, that's real life.
