Yeah, not equivalent situations. Obviously any means necessary to stop someone like McVeigh prior to the explosion.
I should have clarified my question with hindsight of the result and looking back upon the situation. I would say the result was the best possible scenario.
A bomb threat is a pretty complex situation than say someone armed with a gun. There are a hell of a lot more bomb threats than actual viable bombs, and those actually capable of making a bomb will have multiple bombs hidden and possibly triggered by their downfall so taking them down may actually trigger the explosion if not removing means of losing knowledge of additional threats. I certa
In theory? Sure, you get to shoot him, clear cut self defense, and obviously, McVeigh had ill intent.
In practice, you're going to die by the business end of your own gun WAY before you get a chance to "defend yourself" from some soft headed moron like the Spokane clown shoe bomber.
I LOL'd, because I definitely was the sort of guy to have called you that when I was 20.
Edit:. To be clear; I'm not proud of it
Good friend was and still is nicknamed pissboy. His last name is Yurina but that amazing son of a bitch wore it like a royal title. Actually, he lives in your neck of the woods. I gave him my old Yeti SB5 as he was trying to get into real mountainbiking on his decades old Trek hardtail.

And no one knew spokane freedom guy had a bomb until aprehending. You want to shoot people just to find out they had a peanut butter and jelly sammich in their backpacks? Can't see anything bad ever happening with that approach.
What you describe is not "justice", it's retribution with hindsight knowledge.
I don't want to shoot anybody, dude. Somebody claiming to have a bomb if only to commit suicide by others is an awful result. The "devil's advocate" part was; what is the cost of making the wrong call? Too often people tell us that they're bad and going to do bad things, and nobody believes them.
I don't think it's justice nor retribution, and just because something (like shooting the maker of a false bomb threat) may be considered 'justifiable' doesn't mean it wasn't also preventable.
Just like in school!
Oh for sure.
