I think most if not all of us hope we're never in a situation where criminal assailants force us to choose between their lives and ours (or the life of a loved one) but let us never forget it is the criminal who creates that situation.mamabearCali wrote:Wow...if it was very serious then I guess it is between you and God. I sure hope to never ever be in that place where I have to decide between my life and the life of a child.
A robber or carjacker trying to enter a car by force, or a young man who circles back to beat down a local resident, or any other violent criminal hurt or killed during their illegal act is ultimately responsible for setting the chain of events in motion by choosing to commit a violent crime. If they are shot, stabbed, run over, or even immolated in the act, it may be tragic, but I say it's far less tragic than allowing them to complete their crime.
