In England some punk kid robbed some guys house...
As the kid was running away the guy shot and killed him.
Said guy gets prison time for the killing.

I kind of like the idea that, if you're some dumb ass who breaks the law, the moment you step on someones property with criminal intent your life becomes forfeit.
At the same time, we can't have a country run by vigiliantism, even when its in home defense (over property).
I don't think that victims should be screwed over by the law - but at the same time I don't want them taking the burglars life in their own hands. Even if 'aiming' for a non lethal shot. I'm not sure where to draw the line.
