What part of "The THIEVES SHOT AT THE COUPLE" do you think did not warrant the use of deadly force?LCP_Dogg wrote:I don't believe that justifies the use of deadly force...Rokyudai wrote:There is also an article about a couple just getting ready to go to work at 6am and found 2 people attempting to break into their car.

My wife and I were just talking about (the soccer dad and) this exact scenario over lunch today.
I believe "attempting to break into a vehicle" does not justify the use of deadly force, but it does justify the use of force according to PC §9.41(a).
Now if they had stolen belongings already in their possession, then yes, deadly force is justified under PC §9.42(a).
I think the same might go for arson, like if you see someone with a gas can standing next to your vehicle, you aren't really justified to use force against them unless they are pouring it on the vehicle or property.
CAN SOMEONE CONFIRM WHAT I'M SAYING HERE??
