not justified

I really don't feel that this shooting was justified. We're not just talking about an injury or property. We are talking about someone's life! That person's life is over with, and there is nothing that anyone can ever do to give back whatever future that person may have had to him or his family.

When Malcom X was a young man he was a thief, but look at the change he made. If he had been shot and killed at that time he would have never been able to impact our community the way that he did. Who is anyone to take away this person's chance to make a change, too?

Lastly, if the homeowner had shot and missed the thief but killed a small child, we would be yelling to "throw the book at him". Even though that didn't happen here, if he is let go it will send a message to others that this is acceptable. Then how will we feel if it is our child who is accidentally killed by a vigilanty taking the law into his own hands?
