If some one is about to attack me, and I shoot them, I have hurt them. What makes it right?

Your right to protect yourself. Had one of Williams' victims shot him (ed: during the commission of the crime), I wouldn't protest the fact.

No on said that living in an advanced society under laws would be easy.

If some one annoys me by the way the exist, and I kill them, what makes it wrong?

They present no threat to your continued existence.

In each case, there is an appeal to a Law the we believe that all humans are supposed to know and obey.

Sure. That Law, however, doesn't depend on a deity.

When you emphasized "right" you put it in R/T terms.

Not really, but suppose it did. Religious topics get discussed in GD all the time, and in fact are at this moment. So let's discuss it here instead of pretending that any comment of mine has to be banished to another forum.

"Thou shalt not kill."
