I stand steadfast in the belief that the person who was being robbed is the victim and not the other way around. There are many innocent bystanders who are hurt or killed everyday but in this situation this person was not innocent. They were engaged in an illegal act against this individual who has the right to protect himself and his property. One of the Lord's commandments states that "Thou should not convent though neighbors property."

Therefore, not only was this person doing something illegal by United States law but also immoral by what I consider to be a higher law, God's law.

In my city we just had an incident where a 16 attempted to break in the home of an elderly couple and was shot in the head (killed). The elderly man was not charged but only a few days later his home was shot up. Arson has also been threatened. This couple has moved out of their home out of fear. The young man only lived about 4 houses down from them all these years.
