Imagine that Lex and his crew were arsonists and that Superman was a firefighter. If those house collapses while the fire is being put out, crushing the arsonists, then it's hardly the fire brigade's fault.
Meinwhile, Lex may very well have been responsible for people being injured or killed because of the emp/shockwave caused by the use of Kryptonian technology.

So what you're saying is that you believe lethal force is sometimes essential in the protection of innocent lives!
RKBA all the way!
(I couldn't resist that cheap shot, will)
I can't forget that Superman is also a deadbeat dad.
