Excellent post.
I have zero feelings of compassion for this piece of human detritus who apparently made his living preying on fellow citizens or doing time for such predation at taxpayer expense. He is dead, and society in general (and Joe Taxpayer in particular) is much better off for it.
In fact I'd carry it a couple of steps further. Any citizen who forcibly stops a felony during occurrence and/or who uses whatever force is necessary to keep the felon from leaving the scene of that crime before the police arrive, other than for collateral damage, should be exempt from criminal prosecution. Additionally neither the victim nor his/her family or other people personally connected to the victim, should be allowed to bring a civil suit against the person who stopped the felony.
"When seconds count, the police are only minutes away". The Texas shooter, by his prompt and decisive action, saved the citizens of Texas from paying for a police investigation that given the circumstances (fully disguised perp) had unknown chances of success but which undoubtedly would have lasted months if not years, a hefty tab for housing, feeding and caring for this creep on the chance that he WAS apprehended and brought to justice, and an unknown number of innocent people who would most likely have been victimized by him in the future.
He did a very good thing. We should be thankful.
