Yet there is a distinction between him and some random hard-up opportunist burglar with a family to feed. Granted, he's in the wrong - but not deserving of a death sentence. But it's the CRIMINAL'S risk. OTOH,you would rather have the ODC bear the risks. And once again,getting shot is NOT always a "death sentence". Nice try at emotionalizing the issue,though. Use of a firearm is considered 'deadly force' (in NZ). By legal definition, use of a firearm means intent to kill (unless no attempt is made to fire at the person (shooting into the air etc.) So, although not every shooting will result in death, legally you are attempting to kill someone when you shoot at them (hence, 'death sentence' and 'judge, jury, and executioner') |
