[QUOTE="alank2, post: 2973683, member: 108"] Folks need to understand that there are consequences to their decisions. All the nanny state crap has a lot of people falsely convinced that they can literally do and get away with whatever they want. A consequence of that is the lawless society we now live in where career criminals succeed, year after year whether they are caught or not. Do I wish the young "criminals" in this case had parents/others to teach them right from wrong, invest in them, and show them a better way? Absolutely. Did they raise this situation to a deadly force situation of their own free will? Absolutely and sadly they paid for it. I don't celebrate the loss of life for young people who chose the wrong direction, but I do celebrate that there are less thieves out there who have no problem hurting me or my family to steal or get their fix. There is no way to armchair this either, I'm sure every situation like this is different. Could it have ended differently? Sure. Could they have run off only to come back and killed the homeowner or his son later as well? Yep. It is pretty hard to argue with this response given that there were 3 of them. I'd say the homeowner's son was very fortunate to have stopped the threat without coming to harm physically. Teach your children to be honorable, and bolster that by doing your best to be an example of what you teach them. Know who and what they are in with. Try to give them the skills necessary to navigate life properly - just like they didn't see some dangers when they were 2 years old, they still don't see the different dangers they face when they are 15-20...
