> To be honest, how you make the jump from looting and destroying property to someone's life being threatened is beyond me.

From "this is calling for summary judgement and execution without trial. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?"

> Destroying or stealing property doesn't justify killing

This is not some universal truth as you try to make it to be, but rather your personal morals.

> Having your property taken away doesn't imply a threat to you

As I said before "Sure it does. If it did not everyone owning property would go to the entrance and physically block it. In addition it implies imminent threat to the well-being of these that have their property taken away from them."

The looters are looting while using the threat of violence.

> if that's the standard then we should just execute every petty thief and vandal

As I said before "Under normal conditions I would support shooting them only if it is the only/safest way to stop them (either from committing the act or from running away)."

What is the point of repeating the same statements over and over?
