Just last year thousands of British were forced to watch their homes and businesses burn to the ground because they couldn't do anything against oppurtunistic, thieving rioters. 

Um. You think. That it's OK to shoot people who are looting?

Umm yes?

if someone came in my house and started looting me do you want me to have a nice conversation in which he could kill me with anything?

Yes. Morally it's only acceptable to me to use reasonable force, i.e. equal to what they're using on you. So if they're using a gun you can use a gun, but that's the only situation. If they're just stealing stuff your job is to get away, phone the police and call your insurance about what was taken.

I'm finding it hard to believe that anyone thinks it's OK to shoot people who are just stealing things and not threatening you with a weapon. There has to be rule of law.

When someone comes in my house with children in with a knife or a gun I don't care about what you think is fair because I'm not not having honorable fight I'm trying to survive and protect my family. Plus they only return a certain amount of money back I personal experience this.
