Americans hold everybody else's life cheap (cheaper than the cheapest
bit of property).

Uk/NZ and others consider both lives of value, but allow reasonable
force in defence of self or others (defence of property is different).

Well, that ends my discussion with you. Have a nice day.

I guess the value of having criminals is that the gov't can hire more
police,increase taxes,and expand itself more.
Shoot criminals,and the police forces will have to be downsized,and then
taxes reduced or used for other purposes.
