Do I agree with what the brothers did? Hard to say since I'm not in their shoes, but the thief/criminal is at fault, plain and simple. Don't steal if you don't want to potentially be killed.

If they catch the driver of the suburban, he could potentially be charged with murder since his thug friend was killed in the felony in which he participated.
There's a difference between being a proponent for sanity and crying for thieves. No one deserves to die for stealing a truck.
Sorry, I disagree, you steal a truck, and are caught by the owner with a gun, they can expect to die, it is a chance they take.
There is a reason horse thieves were hung, they were stealing a mans means to feed his family, well a truck or car is the same thing. I know some are going to say, it's insured, let the insurance pay for it, well, not everyone has theft insurance, and even if they do, most times if you file a claim for a loss, YOUR RATES go up. So you get to pay for being robbed. Dead car thief, no insurance rate hike and on less useless pice of scum wasting air.
You said the thieves were more likely to kill you than those brothers. That is not a fact.
And if you take my comment in the context in which it was given, then you would know that I didn't state it as fact. I was responding to another hypothetical which, not surprisingly, you ignored.
That same thing happened here in New Orleans. After theives stole copper from a local church, the Pastor chased them and fired at them. A few days later, they ended up pressing charges on the Pastor. I don't believe you can go chasing people in public and shooting at them over material stuff. No ones life was in danger untill the Pastor started chasing them in his truck and shooting at them.

The biggest issue here is both parties (the criminals who stole the truck and the people chasing after) are putting innocent bystanders in danger by their actions. It's also a case of cause and effect here - the thieves are fleeing because they're being shot at by civilians.
The article linked by the OP said nothing about innocent.bystanders. It happened at 1am on a highway. So without knowing these details, you are making up another hypothetical example that has no bearing here.
Off hand, It looks like you missed this:
"Deputies told Channel 2 the case would be referred to a grand jury; as of Sunday morning no charges had been filed."
So, AFTER the Grand Jury has made a decision in the case, you can rant all you want (IF appropriate).
Until the Grand Jury has spoken, though, your rant is asinine.
No, what is insane are all the yahoos clapping each other on the back for murdering a couple of car thieves. How macho of you all. PEW PEW PEW!!!!

Only one of the car thieves was killed.
If you don't want to kill a thief, don't own a gun.
If you don't want to be killed stealing the property of another person, don't steal.
I don't know what is so difficult for you to grasp about this.
