One of the reasons our justice system is so screwed up is the overload on it placed by people unwilling to stop these people and get them red handed. Crooked cops trying to bolster numbers, look at chicago this past month, top DUI cop in the state is having hundreds of DUI convictions over turned because they found out he was lying, faking test results and in some cases never giving the tests... or the chicago captain who tortured hundreds of suspects over his 18 year career, finally some subordinates are coming forward, hundreds more convictions might be tossed over this guy alone. Don't confuse one problem with another.
In this situation a real good neighbor confronts bad guys and offers them the chance to surrender. They refused, posed a threat and got what was coming to them.
We all know the longer criminals get away with things the more brazen they become. It's a fact.
This man probably saved some woman from this next week:

Like I said, give him a medal. Two scumbags are dead and the community is better for it. The only thing this guy did wrong IMO was having 'loose lips'... and that shouldn't be a crime.

There is a stark difference between catching someone in the act ("red handed") of a crime and forming lynch mobs for "vigilante justice".I can't see the point in such vigilante justice. The criminal "justice" system we have now produces far too many false positive guilty verdicts... I have the feeling that number will rise when mob mentality is used to summarily convict and execute people.

I never suggested that. I was merely pointing out that virtually all home burglars start out hitting unoccupied houses and escalate to home invaders. I have not, nor will I ever support 'thought crimes'.Especially if, as you suggested, people be killed just for having the intent to commit crimes without actually having committed any.
