Re: Would you kill a man who\'s robbing you? (long)

Thats pretty crazy.
Rationally (not in the situation), if you had a gun, I would see no reason to shoot him. If you pull it out while he is going through your stuff you are in control. You can tell him to get on the ground, etc, etc, holler for your roommates, call the cops, etc. If he makes any sort of aggressive move towards you then shooting him is, of course, perectly reasonable.
However, in situations like this you cannot be expected to act rationally.

Only the courts expect you to act with moral perfection under high pressure circumstances. Unfortunately, it's their opinion that counts.
