And sorry for making multiple posts to you, I should have put this in my other to you.

“Property trumps 2 young lives?”

Well, let’s see.

What is property? It is usually a physical item that you exchanged something of value for. Probably cash.

How does one get money? By working, generally.

What does to work mean? It means someone pays you for your time.

So truthfully...you’re exchanging time for property. When someone steals “just property” from you, what they really stole is the labor hours it took for you to earn whatever they stole.

That means they’re taking part of your life. Because they’re too lazy to exchange their time for money. They’d rather just take yours...it’s easier, and kind of a rush.

He’s an old man...he doesn’t have much time left. So stealing time from an old man is an even greater crime.

I’m glad they’re dead. I’d bet that in the past they had gloated over other succesful robberies...well sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

And their short lives ended on the floor of a basement, choking in blood after trying and failing to victimize an old man. Their existence was so short and meaningless that they might as well never have lived.

Good.

I’m assuming that you are not a Christian.

My reference to the imbalance of the relative value of 2 lives for tangible property (he had been burglarized several times according to the report) was only in reference to after he had shot them, felt he could approach them to shoot them at close range in the head. Clearly he had a right to protect his property and life as he first became aware of the invasion of his home. But AFTER what seemed to be neutralization of the threat, the circumstances have seemed to change and his right to volitionally kill the two seems to be annulled. If he was to become again in fear for his life, then to take those steps necessary to protect his life and property would, once again, become a valid response.

you’re probably right about these 2 gloating over their thievery,they probably posted their spoils on Facebook in the past, holding the stolen guns from the old guy’s house.
