So, shoot to kill orders (i.e. something different than the constant that people have a right to defend themself against attacks) can't be justified by saying "but there's rapists and thugs".

2. You silly person! That's New Testament talk!

We're living under an Old Testament regime. You know, "Eye for an eye" and all that.
