I have never ended anyone’s life, for any reason.
There are times when this would be clearly justified, but to have ended someone’s life in such a direct and dramatic manner would bother me too for quite a while. He has much support around him, so this man, and the second citizen should both recover from the trauma over time. I don’t hear much from that second man to took the shooter down. Probably best to go private for a long while.

I guess that I'm built differently: I was a Marine and my fellow Marines and I shot and killed a bunch of people.

Is it some people's responsibility to kill for their country, their community, their families - and not others?

Does he regret stopping that maniac? Would he hesitate if he had that opportunity again?

I am very happy that he did what he did - but the handwringing is unseemly.

I have never lost a night's sleep over what I had to do.
