Yeah, in this case I believe the guy went waaaaay over the line. You can’t go hunt the bad guy down and kill him after he stops threatening.

Depends on when you assume the bad guy is no longer a threat. Clearly, our hero decided the guy was a threat as long as he was alive. I would probably feel the same if someone threatened my wife.

Last thing we need is the bad guys knowing all they have to do is run away to attack another day. Hunt 'em down and eliminate the problem is the only way to be sure the guy 'stops threatening'.

I believe we should be able to kill them even after immediate threat has eased. If you let them go, they will simply kill some other innocent person. Why do you suppose cops are allowed to chase them down?(granted, even cops aren't supposed to run them over) They chase them down to bring them to justice and prevent them from committing other crimes. I don't believe this guy went over the line, I think a scum bag perp got what he deserved. Don't want to die? Don't threaten me or mine.

You're correct. At that point YOU become the threat. At least as far as the police are concerned, here in CT.

Aw c’mon, he was just trying to effect a Citizen’s Arrest when this crud, for reasons unbeknownst to Mr. Moretti, decidedly leapt under the bumper and wheels of Mr. Moretti’s SUV. THRICE!

Yup. Hubby’s going away for a long long time.

Have and will again. Just do not get caught, if the law will not let you prevent it from happening again, the law needs to be changed. Restraining orders do no good and when someone is terrorized it is usually to late before the “justice’ community does something about it. Attack mine or me and you can expect swift and painful retribution. spare me the vigilante c$ap.
