Not sure what killing bad guys has to do with the Const. The gov't. has some hurdles to do it legally, but private citizens have far less of a burden.
That's the absolute worst thing you can do. Letting a bad guy stay alive so the cops can hear his side of the story and his lawyers can sue you is a very bad option. No matter how justified, you will face financial ruin for letting a bad guy tell his side of the story to the cops.

And you think killing the guy is a better idea? That is what started this thread.
Either way (dead or not), I would rather take my chances in court on an A&B charge rather than on murder....the A&B wouldn't even make the news...you think you're gonna "walk" with a dead body laying around? We all see what the results of that plan has wrought.
You're going have to defend your actions either way. Welcome to real life in lawyer land.
