Re: Rendering aid to a bad guy?

What about the possibility that your attempt to save the perp's life might be wrongly interpreted as your admission that deadly force was not necessary in the first place?

+2, or 3, or 10, or whatever. A perpetrator shot down during a home invasion robbery has no rights under the Geneva Conventions. I do think you retain the moral high ground if you call the police and report the man down and tell them he's going to need an ambulance. But without additional training, equipment, and the certain knowledge that the situation is now safe, I don't think you are under any moral or legal obligation to further endanger yourself by trying to treat him.
