The choice to bear arms and get involved in a matter like this brings consequences with it. I can guarantee you even if the idiots are adjudicated not guilty of any criminal wrong doing that they will wish they had just let the guy go. Or maybe make a 911 call and remotely keep contact.
Me, I ain't getting involved in an armed confrontation with a burglary suspect who doesn't appear to have any stolen goods with him. I realize everyone will have different risk assessment or cost/benefit analysis, but no way do I ever see that set of risks worth the potential gain.
