As Doc Zoidberg continues to point out, it depends on the details. A person in my home who is not supposed to be there and who has a criminal intent of any kind is likely to be killed. If he flees from my home under those circumstances, I will pursue him. That is not a theoretical idea. As I have already pointed out, I have already done that. I will stop him with force if needed (already done that personally).

So, commit a crime of this nature, and you may very well die.

See how that creates a deterrent to crime?

And, as you can see in my earlier posts, I did not have to kill anyone.
