Zeraph, all I/we have to go on is the words that you originally wrote down.
"I decided not to, ahem, track him outside and take him out because, well that might go badly with the cops."
I don't know if you were kind of joking with this statement or not.
Was it just the idea of getting in trouble with the cops that stopped you?
"Still, there's a small part of me that wanted to take care of that burglar so he wouldn't be able to hurt anyone else. I'm sure he would have just ran though and I don't think I could shoot him in the back. But my question is should I have? Would it have been for the greater good? What if that was a murder/rapist that I let go?"
^ The section of the above statement that concerned me is:
"But my question is should I have? Would it have been for the greater good?"
That, to me, seemed more than just an abstract what if type thought.
& that's what I reacted to.
So, you weren't seriously asking if it was 'okay' to take out this dude for the greater good?
I hope that's the case. I'm glad nothing worse happened & you weren't hurt.
My apologies for any misunderstandings.
