I don't think we have the right to change that whether we like it or not. If the robber appears ready to kill or has started doing so, I think we have the moral responsibility to protect life.You see two guys in the street having a shoot out. Do you get involved? That's a tough one, you don't know what the deal is.I had a personal experience; I was driving in NYC a few decades ago when two men dressed like bums with guns were chasing and shooting at each other and were crossing right in front of me, I almost hit the second one. My thought at the time was to use the car as a weapon, luckily I didn't. The first man disappeared in the crowd, the second "bum" pulled from under his shirt a shield that was hanging around his neck, he was an undercover cop.Another thing to consider is how innocent bystanders might suffer from your decision.</blockquote>
