Dear Health,
The din of machteres only applies to a ganev. Because he is not in any way in the midst of attempting to kill anyone, it is inapplicable the regular concept of rodef. It would not apply if someone would be breaking and entering without any intention of theft. For example, someone breaking into a public building to get shelter from a storm (However we know that he is not trying to steal anything.) will not have one din of a rodef. Or if someone takes a shortcut through your property, there is no din of machteres.
If you want, you can keep thumping your bible. Better to open it and examine it under the lens of our sages.
