Should all of them been spared for the sake of being "civilized?"

The problem I have with this post is that all of those people were immediate threats and therefore treated as so. The reason Nathan Gale was shot was for immediate safety. Had the circumstances been different he would have been apprehended in a less violent fashion and probably be faced with time in prison and possibly a correctional facility. Same goes for pretty much everyone you listed. Had we managed to catch Hitler in a safe and timely manner he would've had a fair trial to determine his penalty. Thats how the system works.
