re: #141 palomino

So what? The kid who shot them didn’t know any of this at the time. I have no idea if he will suffer any psychological issues from this. We’re all different, some would, some wouldn’t.

But the knowledge that the guy had a history of nonviolent crime isn’t likely to make someone think, “Oh, well then, he deserved to die”.

I don’t mean to suggest that, I was pointing out that the men shot were not innocents. They’d committed crimes before and they broke into that house to rob it. Thus the young man who shot them was empowered to defend himself and his grandmother’s property against their unlawful attempt to take what did not belong to them.
