As terrible as this article is, I have to agree with the basic premise; there are three times it's socially acceptable to kill someone in the US. a) human privilege - If someone is actively and maliciously threatening the life of me, or my immediate family. b) 'castle doctrine' - If someone enters my home with malicious intent. c) They're on a bicycle. It does seem you can have a more reasonable debate over whether it's acceptable to kill someone who is actively in the process of a non-lethal crime, than it is to debate the murder of someone who added several seconds to your daily commute.
