SampleMan: Possibly eternal damnation. What you got?
inardmd1: Would you want Jesus/God to treat you fairly?
I don’t have the powers of the Holy Trinity, therefore, I can only act on my best judgment.
Having had my life threatened in an armed robbery, my personal experience has been that the assailant’s orientation and percentage of task completion doesn’t play any role in a victim’s defensive reaction whatsoever.
When an assailant triggers an innocent person’s natural response, the assailant is responsible for that outcome. If you haven’t stood next to your wife and children while someone is waving a gun around, or looked down the barrel of a pistol inches from your face, I recommend you give it some thought.
Going toward the threat to neutralize it, is the natural reaction of many people. Robbers often revisit the same place/victims and sometimes do so immediately if they feel they have been shorted.
Bottom line, I give the benefit of the doubt to the victims and consider anything on premises within minutes of the attack to be an immediate response.
