You, the individual, are deciding who is worthy to live or die. Because someone is (allegedly) coming to "take your stuff", they are scum and should be eliminated. If you "think they are a good kid" then they are passed over for execution.
You can spin it any way you want - you're playing God and elevating your physical possession over the life of a human.
If someone is a direct physical threat to you or your family, then I understand the use of deadly force. But that is not what some here are saying. My stuff - you try to take it, I kill you.
