My mileage varies.
I think it is a moral necessity to kill anyone trying to steal anything
(beyond the utterly trivial or confusable, e.g., one should not kill
someone picking up a toy left out in the yard...might be a mistake, he
might be trying to return it, etc.).
Someone stealing a television or PC has certainly earned killing.
This is what strong crypto will make more possible: the deliverance of
strong vengeance, untraceably. (Hint: This preceeded Jimbell by many
years.) Fact is, many people have already earned killing. The only
reason we cannot dispose of them is that liberal shits interfere with
vengeance.

Again, my mileage varies. And since I decide what is important to me,
it's "my house, my rules."

I don't mind that a lot of people are liberal pansies who believe
thieves are not worthy of killing. However, if they help to pass laws
restricting my own choices, then they have earned killing themselves.
Certainly nearly every member, with but a handful of exceptions, of
Congress has earned the death penalty many times over.
