there are also rules involving dealing with persons who present a real and imminent threat to other people’s lives. I think this case falls under that heading.
The only ruckus is over “due process”. I think the term needs to be expanded to include cases like this, as I fear he will not be the last person we might have to take out to ensure the safety of innocent people.
He had every opportunity to surrender and face due process. In effect, he was armed and engaged in an inter-continental standoff, and was killed by an inter-continental police sniper.
