And that's the way it goes down. You shoot to kill. The shoot the gun out of the hand and do the knee cap is Hollywood movie rhetoric. I can't imagine LEO training that adds legs to a target for training.
The stupidity of some people amaze me.

In an instance where you feel that you may be in danger of serious bodily harm or death, you shoot to stop the threat. Sometimes, the individual(s) may die as a result of that; but you resort to the use of deadly force in order to stop the threat.
I'd recommend they grieve privately instead of grieving all over social media and literally blaming the shooter for the death of their criminal friend or family member.
They have something from me, I don't know that I'd call it compassion, but I feel for them, right up to the point where they start blaming the real victim here for the death of their criminally stupid relative. At that point what I feel toward them is disgust.
You can't be serious. Are you?
Are you excusing this lady for blaming the victim for her relative's death?
They should be allowed to grieve, they are even allowed to blame the victim for killing their loved one, and they can do it publicly, but when they choose that route, they aren't allowed a free pass. They are going to get called out on it, and it's just as much the right of those people to call her out as it is her right to victim blame.
You want sympathy & respect? Grieve respectfully. Respect begets respect.
When they realize the error of their ways and publicly seek forgiveness in the same way they publicly shamed the victim, that forgiveness shall be given.
Yep...same here. Far as the family goes...appears there needs to be more genes taken out of that pool.
Perfect example of what I mentioned........from the aunt of one of the "boys".
Notice how she blames the shooter??
Still feel sorry for her??
It's genetic and learned behavior, repetitive from one generation to the next until some event, whether death, incarceration, etc happens before they can have children......it generally will just keep cycling.
Kübler-Ross Five stages of grief as we all are aware, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. I personally cannot condemn the Aunt for her natural response to the situation as it is totally normal. I simply feel that some things are better left in the privacy of one's own home, shared with loved ones to heal as each individual psyche allows. The information age and Social Media seem to provide a source for some to "voice" their natural responses to grief in a public forum that may or may not be an appropriate venue. I feel the grief of those close to the dead and the guilt they must feel for failing their loved ones, if only in their minds. Society judges, that is what it does. The only way to ensure you are not guided down a hole of greater despair is to keep your grieving process confined within the family unit and not post things that are open to reply from others that certainly feel differently. The victim will suffer from this ordeal, I have yet to hear or read anything that has been posted by him, and that is the way it should be. Taking a life is never easy, much less three lives. I truly hope he gets the help he needs and deserves. Soldiers in combat feel the mental heat after a legitimate kill, I cannot imagine what this young man feels.
That's the dumbest thing that I've ever read. Congratulations!
I'm not even sure it has anything to do with the fact that they're grieving, which is completely understandable. I think it has to do with the loss of a component that seemingly used to exist in our society, shame. Let's say I had a kid who turned sour and got killed during an armed home invasion (because that's really what this was). I'd be torn inside out over it, but I'd do it privately and never speak publicly except to express remorse to the victim. I certainly wouldn't question the actions of a person defending themselves in their own home.
