Exactly.

This is very arguable.

What if a stray bullet hit children outside the store?

Now, what I could agree with, really, is to charge him with some kind of endangerment IFF he was speeding and/or ignoring traffic laws. Even then, I'd not charge him with attacking the thieves, just with some kind of moving violation. Separate it into two issues: burglary and traffic violation. That should satisfy almost everyone.


Yay, a combined reply! Now if only there was an automated way to do this. "If immediately previous post was from the same person, merge this and previous post."
