The key here is he was NOT hurting people. I don't care what side of
the gun argument you come from, you cannot possibly justify the use of
deadly force if he all he is doing is destroying property.


Why not ?
It's it's YOUR property, that you spent a whole bunch of time building up,
you have EVERY RIGHT to use force to stop someone from destroying it.

Also how do you know that after doing physical damage to things, he would
not start trying to do it to people

That guy was a threat to bystanders as long as he was swinging that hammer


The second he takes a swing at the perfume girl, you drop him. Until
that time, you either let him continue on his rampage, or get a few
guys together and gang tackle him.

NAH
Why should "a few guys" take the risk of tackling someone swinging a hammer
?
Far safer to the innocents to just shoot the ****er until he stops being a
danger to others
