I suspect we'll see more "court in the street" in the future, especially in remote rural areas, as crime increases and law enforcement becomes increasingly less able to keep up with it. Lets review:
1. Perp is probably "under the radar", for the most part, and may or may not be missed. If he's a part of a group of druggers, they may or may not want to arouse the interest of the authorities by reporting him missing.
2. Perp probably has not told anyone that he is planning to burglarize your particular place tonight, so there's nothing to link him to you, and no reason anyone looking for him would suspect you.
3. Most farms have digging equipment of some kind or other, and enough wide open space (and plowed ground) to make a suitable grave that would be undetectable.
4. Gunshots are a common occurence in the boondocks, and nobody would give it a second thought.
I don't honestly know if I could pull the trigger based on a strictly property crime. Probably not. But I have vowed that if anyone ever did anything to my wife or daughter, I would blow him away even if the cop was standing next to him- plead insanity, and let the chips fall where they may.
Sometimes I don't like the person the world seems to be turning me into.
