You should, but if you did that in England, the surviving member would get your house, the families of his dead friends would sue every penny from you and you'd be put in jail the rest of your life for use of excessive force.....
This rule apparently doesn't apply to police officers, who pinned down an unarmmed Brazilian man in our London underground and shot him in the head 7 times......but that's another topic.

Thats a pretty broken system...
Heres my take on this situation. If you don't rob someone, you won't get shot. It's a pretty simple concept. If someone robs me, even if they are fleeing, they can expect I'll shoot to kill. I wish my state was like Texas, where that right is extended to your immediate neighbors as well. That means if someone robs your neighbors, and you know about it, you can blow them away as if it were your own house.
Texas is a great state.
