When you said you wished the man had been shot, you didn't say "I wish he'd been shot in the course of a crime." I'm willing to believe that that's what you meant to imply, but as an independent reader observing the conversation, that's not what I extrapolated from your statement. I simply saw a wish that a person had gotten shot because he had committed heinous crimes. That's why I interpreted your comment as potential vigilantism as much as potential self-defense.
