We need more headlines and mugshots like this http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2011/12/05/robbing-ultimate-fighting-expert-proves-to-be-bad-decision/

It's Chicago. If the victim were to 'take the law into his own hands' and kill the perp, the DA would charge him with homicide.
Absolutely, if enough people will quit expecting someone else to handle their problems and stand up for themselves, the need for all the current intervention by outside entities will diminish. Remember this: When seconds count, a cop is only minutes away.
He'll probably sue and win a large judgement. Since the victim was an expert in self defense, he shouldn't have been allowed to fight back.
Speaking of which, story in today's paper about a hunter who put a round right through a house, just missing a lady in the room. He decided to finish off a deer in the woods across the street with a 40 caliber handgun using full metal jacketed rounds. Not kosher. What a maroon.
