Yea I understand what you're saying, but from my POV my property is now in danger and in order to defend it I have to chase it down and kill 4 guys. Defense to me means response. It means I didn't start the fight but I had to finish it. Luckily for me, my state law agrees:
"A person is justified in using deadly force against another to pervent the other who is fleeing after committing burglary, robbery, or theft during the nighttime, from escaping with the property and he reasonable believes that the property cannot be recovered by any other means; or, the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the property would expose him or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury. (Nighttime is defined as the period 30 minutes after sunset until 30 minutes before sunrise.)"
Unfortunately for this guy his state probably doesn't see it that way and he is going to go to prison. Damn shame, but I sure wish more people would react the same way he did.
Let me add here, I own some nice Samurai swords and I would've cut those dudes hands off so I say they got off lucky. Chuck Norris BITCHES!
