Are you nuts?
Two people dead is a happy ending?!
They definitely did the wrong thing and should have been punished for it, but you know, this is way out of proportion for what they did. I don't neccesarily disagree with taking action and trying to stop the robbery, but 1) to me it seems rather like the guy was trigger-happy; 2) in any case, even if you forgive the shooter, you just can't call this a good and just thing! If this is justice, then we've just established a precedent for lethal penalties for petty crimes - and that's downright dangerous. You know, people really screw up their lives sometimes, but there's no reason why the punishment for them shouldn't offer a chance for rehabilitation afterward. We're sure leaving that option open for them here, huh...
Otherwise, hey, let's just screw this "fair trial" thing and start shooting everyone who does anything remotely illegal! Hardened criminals and stupid kids who got tangled up in a wrong crowd alike. After all, a bag of stuff is more valuable.
