I posted the wrong pic earlier, here's the alleged carjacker... My bad.
I'm sort of conflicted about property crimes, the laws vary from state to state, California will tell you property crimes are what insurance is for, other states have pretty tight laws about protecting your property, others are more focused on allowing you to protect your life & limb, and others as well... I carry a large deductible or just liability on my cars, so a theft is a significant monetary loss, don't think the state's going to reimburse me for my vehicle or the gap, plus, someone likely just stuck a gun in my face, I'd feel justified in my decision to end their life, because they'd just declared my life to be of little value to them.
I do feel that the line is pretty thin in a carjacking, they're using a deadly weapon to steal another potentially deadly weapon (the vehicle), lots of things can go wrong during the robbery. Heck, if you trip and hit your head on something solid, you could die, I'm not the most coordinated soul, and that's a real possibility if I'm avoiding being shot or struck by a car...
Playing "what if" with the limited information the media reports is stupid, lots of information missing that could affect how I would react. Heck, I might miss and shoot a Hooter's accidentally and spend a night in jail, and you know, that poor Hooter's didn't deserve to be shot, titties need to be protected.
