Wow. I hate to sound like a lib but lethal force is not called for when “protecting your property”. Only in self defense or justifiably perceived threat of personal harm!
Almost everyone knows “you cant shoot someone unless they break into your house” and even that doesn’t hold up in court these days. If you are going to use your car to ram someone just to ‘stop them from getting away’, then you might have to expect to do some prison time if that person dies. I understand they MAY have been committing a crime.

Theres a lot of difference between the various States in handling cases like this.
In Texas, this would be justified because you’re defending your lawful property and thus deadly force is allowed.

If you choose to steal, you should be prepared to die. I have no problem shooting someone stealing from me.
