YOU USED A LOGICALLY FALSE QUESTION TO TRAP SOMEONE.Are you dense?
Just asking questions doesn't make your point any better, nor are all questions worthy of being answered. Try to stick to the topic, will you?

I have an answer, I am just not going to give it to you cause you will jump to conclusions, that's how you subconsciously set it up (you don't have the brains to actually conceive of doing that). Your hypothetical is not similar. That's the whole problem.

How can you expect him to simulate a situation he has no ability to simulate and then produce valid conclusions from it?

We dont really know 100% what we would do until it happens, but we can get a general idea.

Well, I considering its "imagination" how can you expect valid conclusions to be drawn from it? You cant...thus, its a pointless exercise.

Perhaps being the keyword...however because it is unlikely anyone here is really sure of what they would do...the question becomes pointless...
Also, you get the fact that most people will lie and say they would act a way that fits a stereotype they wish to project...or is that too cynical?

The only law breakers in this case were the two thieves. The guy who shot them was well with in it. They took a calculated risk when they chose to burglarize, but unfortunately for them, the person who caught them wasn't a hapless wheelchair-bound 80-year-old.
On top of that, they shouldn't have been here in the first place.
