Wow, this thread is still going on....
This is how the boss should have had to play it.
Boss: Walks outside and shoots the bad guy. Cops arrive, and boss proceeds to tell them how he can't believe that Mister Bad Guy brought a rock to a gun fight and playing the game of Rock, papers, guns is serious bidness!
The next day, there would be wild media coverage with the Bad Guy's family crying and wailing away while at the same time saying "My baby wouldn't hurt nobody. He could have shot him in the leg!"
Of course, I am just being sarcastic because I am running on lack of sleep.

First, one can only ventilate a burglar if they reasonably feel threatened. That's a very hard case to make if one is not in the car at the time.
Second, when I was involved in a "difficulty", the top notch attorney we retained required a $25,000 retainer. This was many years ago in a situation where nobody died. Fortunately, my employer covered the legal expenses. The cost of doing so is a reminder why most employers would rather see you get hurt. Workers comp expenses are limited, legal expense and exposure are not.
Third, a retainer is not a legal fee. It is a deposit that is retained by the attorney. He usually takes the agreed upon hourly rate out of the retained funds. If they are not used up, he must refund the balance once one no longer requires his services. If the retainer runs out, he has to get you to pay more. This is usually difficult, so retainers are usually set high enough to cover worst case senarios, money-wise.
Some attorneys set flat fees for legal services, and that is fine. It is highly unethical for an attorney to keep any part of a retainer that hasn't been earned at his agreed upon hourly rate. One should always get a written contract proposal from an attorney and review it with....another attorney.

Hoo-ahh!
This is a good a time as any to bring this up:
Should the LA Legislature change the right to defend one's person with deadly force to include the defense of property?
Under the Napoleonic Code, life has traditionally been more valuable than property.
But that is one hell of a stretch of the imagination in this day and age, given the price of property and the current crop of sub-human behavioroids.
Certainly the guy who killed his own son in NOLA recently to escape paying child support is a clear example of one worthless son-of-a-bitch, perhaps one with maybe a negative value even.
If I catch him stealing my new $1500 Yamaha generator, then under the Napoleonic Code formula of comparative economics, I should be able to waste the bastard without penalty.
Damn, I like this new math. Write your state congressman on this issue before the next hurricane season starts. It'll be the dawning of a new age on the bayou for sure.
