My only considerations at that point, Mark, would be all tactical. Could I get in a position to stop him, how best to do it, how to do it in the least amount of time, how to avoid risk that would prevent me from accomplishing the mission and how to disappear before the cops got there.
The last consideration would probably not be doable, but would be worth a thought. However, even at the risk of jail time, there was a more important moral issue that is in contradiction to any of the legal issues. How many saved lives are worth the risk? For me the answer is any. Others may have a higher price. But in the end, I must live with my conscience much more closely than any condemnation by others who have not the courage to understand that liberty is risky and sometimes we must risk to maintain it and ours and others security from marauders.
One must also realize that risk means sometimes you lose. If you can't risk without a guarantee of success you will not long remain free. Those not willing to accept the risk of losing are also those not willing to risk success.
