I wont claim to know or interprit dutch law. I will say that shooting without the intent to kill, particularly if warned first, is a perfectly proportional response to intentional property damage.
Stomping on a car can easily cause 10K+ worth of damage. With dutch health insurance a shot to the leg might cost 1/10th of that. Likewise stomping on a car could lead to all sorts of collateral damage, including that car exploding, so the person is defending, indirectly, against potential safety risks just as the person being shot has a risk of having permanent injury.
So yea, seems proportional to me.
Shooting people is not really appreciated by Dutch judges. There should be some serious thread and little alternatives.
(By the way: the health insurance will sue you for hospital costs)
I may not know dutch law in any detail but I will say I kinda expect shooting anyone, ever, for any reason (even if they are literally trying to kill you) probably wont fly in a dutch court. The Dutch just dont see a gun for self defense as ever justified.
Obviously I think they are egregiously incorrect. But I'm not a Dutch judge so that makes little difference WRT the law.
