As I first said, I think the only thing I would ever get violent against is the imminent threat of harm to myself or family - and only as a last resort.
Deadly force? Over some food? I'd have to be pretty hard pressed to kill a man over food in the continental U.S. It's not like we live in the middle of a desert - there's nutrition to be found everywhere in the wild.
As I've expressed before in other threads, I've trained myself in the use of firearms for a reason, and I absolutely know I could kill a man - but I'd expect it to be for the right reasons - and stealing food from a garden just doesn't make the cut.
But I think we may have lost the focus a bit... (but hell, it's late, we're allowed to do that, i guess) we're already talking extremes of extreme circumstances. The shit would have to hit the fan pretty hard for me to pick up and leave Los Angeles in the first place... and I'm sure there'd be some plan in place with several degrees to step down into (using public transpo, turning the computers off at night, selling furniture, etc) before I came anywhere near that level. If things were really that bad, I'm sure there'd be lots of public advice on how to handle the situation to refer to, as well.
My initial point is still where my mind is at... there's always a solution - and killing another human being - as you seem to want to get me to justify doing - just doesn't solve for very much in my humble opinion.
