If a threat has been entirely neutralized, then at any time beyond that, if you kill them -- you are a murderer.
That said, if armed intruders broke into the house, I would shoot first and ask questions if any of them are still alive after.
I wouldn't run the risk of trying to subdue them if they were armed.
Too much chance for that to go wrong, where is dead, means definitely neutralized.
I am coming off hostile because 75% of the first pages of this thread were ultra-liberals somehow sympathizing with the criminal who broke in. I did miss the bit in the OP where he said tie him up and execute him. That's retarded. I don't agree with that piece. I'm not an internet tough guy, nor am I trying to be edgy. And trust me, when you get a family, you're not "waiting for an intrusion" so you can "feel justified in killing someone." That's.. a moronic thought entirely, no offense.

Yeah alright fine. So I missed or didn't read that last bit. Any rational person, even after a break in, isn't going to tie someone up and murder them. Unless he like raped your child or something.. then you might go that far, and fathers have gotten off in situations like that.
Well, I could understand if the victim was terrified of there being consequences if these people lived. Say it was a lone thief who had mental health issues and a personal grudge, or a gang that would definitely come back to finish the job.
But, speaking from the law's perspective, I think that they would always frown upon this act because you would no longer be in a victim in the situation where they become your hostage. To execute them when they're defenseless shows bad character.
I'm personally glad I won't have to decide whether someone committed murder or simply acted in self-defense. It seems like a tough call to make.
Ohh look, the resident edgy kid is back with a thread...
What on earth would make you think execution would be ok?
Is the way people tend to disagree with even execution in it's official way not enough of a give-away to prevent asking such stupid questions?
If he also disarms himself and gets on the floor that seals the deal; he's then the official's problem.
This is not a DC comic after all... where everyone and their mother is a vigilante and gets away with it.

Your scenario feels overly vague but the concept is really simple.
If someone is definitely not a threat, it's illegal to harm/kill them. If you find some neighbor kid in your backyard trying to get his baseball and you shoot him, lawyer up hard.
The wise wolf who's pride is her wisdom isn't so sharp as drunk.
I have an one size fits all gimp suit for whenever the day I capture a victim in my home. That should be my right.
Seriously though, if you can't reasonably prove that you, your property or your family are/were in danger, I am not going to support your bloodthirst.

Yes you should be charged with 1st degree murder for your crime, that you instantly dont figure this out is quite frankly something that makes me worry for the safety of people around you
Dead people cannot be witnesses. So if you make that legal you basically legalize murder, because all you need to do to legally kill someone is invite them to your home and then shoot them in the face. Tell the police they broke in, your door was unlocked.
All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side
I would end his miserable life because he traumatised my family.
They would never find him again.
This is just insane. You can't just kill people! You have disarmed the robber, have him at your mercy, so his life is now in your hands. If you kill him, you should be put in jail for a long time. Maybe things are different in USA or North Korea, but in most of the world, you would get some of the hardest punishments possible if you killed a person after they have surrendered to you.
May the lore be great and the stories interesting. A game without a story, is a game without a soul. Value the lore and it will reward you with fun!
Don't let yourself be satisfied with what you expect and what you seem as obvious. Ask for something good, surprising and better. Your own standards ends up being other peoples standard.
If they show no signs of surrendering then I do what I can to neutralize the threat, but If they're at my mercy I'll tie them up and let the law deal with them.
I know there are people that think they're Frank Castle but really, pulling the trigger only result in the wrong person behind bars and besides, what are you gonna do with the body? The law is definitely not letting you off the hook especially after blowing out the brains of a unarmed person and some "executioners" tend to not turn themselves in.
Now that I think of it, the OP's question feels like a "what happens when a burglar enters a serial killer's home".

Nobody likes you, everyone left you, they're all out without you havin fun.
Simple. Defending yourself from a threat is self defense. Executing someone you have at your mercy is murder. /thread
