Ok, then I'll answer that with my opinion. It's just my opinion, mind you.
No. Killing people for stealing from you is an unnecessary waste of life, even if they're a criminal. Killing should only be done when your or another's life is in danger (That said, if Mr. Gherlach did indeed believe his life was in danger, then he is justified in his actions. Wether or not he actually did think he was in danger, or made that up to support his case in court, is another question.)
I can understand why people disagree with me, though. I think that every life is precious, they think that a criminal's life is worthless. Perhaps I'm just too naive, or they're too cynical, or maybe a bit of both. Whatever, I'll still respect them after this argument.
