So if a pizza delivery guy gets shot on the way do you still demand better service? Just trying to see if you believe in the principle or just the practical aspect. :)

Better analogy would be if the "criminals" flooded the streets with bicycles or cars preventing the pizza delivery guy from delivering your order.

Straight up murder doesn't quite fit the situation here.

Yes, that would be a better analogy. However, I was not trying to make an analogy. I was testing if the person held a principled (absolute) or practical (relative) view.
I'm guessing relative.
