A pattern of fire in which the shooter continues to aim his pistol to follow the attacker's descent isnt excessive force
Can't resist - in what movie did you see aimed fire follow a dropping person in a manner guaranteed to make a killing shot? Fantasy BS. In fact, there is a study underway to deal with the following problem. A cop shoots a guy and he drops, the cop is still firing and the dropping guy takes one through the top of his noggin (given the angle of his head as he drops). The cop is charged with firing a finishing shot on a guy who is down. Because how else do you shoot someone through the top of his head? Shooting swingers is a bear in matches. One tries for a good hit. But you guys who think you are going to guarantee a killing shot on a dropping target, as to differentiate from shooting someone on the ground, are just of baloney.

Loss of Property vs. Loss of Life
Just a couple of questions (and MY answers):
What is it a criminal takes when he murders someone? Answer: Time (i.e. the time the person would have in the future to spend either at work or at leisure) What is it a criminal takes when he steals property? Answer: Time (i.e. the time in the past the person spent WORKING to acquire the funds to purchase the property the criminal now is taking from the victim) Either way, the criminal is taking away TIME from the victim. Does the fact that the time is from the past rather than the future really all that important? I say NO! Why is this so hard for people in the legal system to get? Vanguard.45

Looks like Vanguard is comparing property crime and murder to me. Showing the similarities in both. The fact that it boils down to both crimes taking time from the victim. He is dead on IMO. Property crimes should be treated more seriously is what I believe his point is.
