confused.

A self defense shooting in Harlem by a licensed gun owner.
Two dead armed robbers. two wounded and arrested robbers.
"I wish I didn't have to do this." is about the sanest reaction imaginable.

I have never had a conceptual problem with killing people. I will not do it at an other's whim. It is a very effective cease and desist order.

I do have a problem with the death penalty. Torture is unlawful, even psychological torture. The dead do not suffer. Only the living suffer. If we want to kill people for their acts, call it an editorial policy. Do it swiftly and without appeal.
