Perhaps burglars should call residents ahead of time, and let the homeowner know exactly what they plan to steal, this way violence is avoided. I admire your desire for peaceful co-existince but I cannot fathom your logic here.. If someone is breaking into your home they should expect to be shot.

The second shot is what made the difference between murder and self defence. Firing a shot at the two intruders he could have got away with, firing a second shot when the guy was down was murder... it seems pretty clear to me, there is no requirement to defend yourself against a guy laying on the floor wounded.
