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

Very, very, very rarely do people engaged in petty theft stab or otherwise hurt anyone who isn't resisting in some way. As smarter posters than me already made abundantly clear in this thread, you run a big risk escalating the situation.
On a more personal level, you just [censored] suck. I like internet tough-guys like you, who shoot to protect their gamecubes...oh well, not my fault you completely and totally [censored] suck.

The bolded part may be true, but it's also likely someone else will resist. And yes, shooting him is escalating the situation. Thanks for pointing that out.
It has nothing to do with being a tough guy, on the Internet or elsewhere. The fact is that it is my gamecube. I worked for it. I view thieves pretty much the same way I view cockroaches. When one enters my bedroom, it has given up its right to live. I do not view the thief's life as having any inherent value.
