You can't always kill someone fleeing your just-robbed home (state-specific laws), though.
In terms of law, case law is critical here, to my knowledge only Texas allows that, after a verbal warning. And like e.g. Oklahoma, I expect judges to eventually nullify that.
- 15155 11y agoThere are many states with justifiable homicide statutes allowing a citizen to apprehend persons whom they've observed committing felonies (or even to stop the felony-in-progress from occurring.) Have you ever tried to apprehend a violent felon? They'll typically attack you, resulting in a case for traditional self-defense.
