In the heat of the moment an 80 year old man shot at two fleeing criminals who had injured him enough to land in the hospital. There has to be a moral allowance for such action after an injury that gets your adrenaline pumping. Especially in a vulnerable 80 year old man who could have been hurt a lot worse than this duo hurt him

My prediction is he will be out $10,000 and more to lawyers but he will not be sent to jail. He will get probation

Fine him ten dollars, he can mail it in.

Not to mention if he puts his gun away and calls the cops the baby daddy could have reappeared and killed him.

Moral law takes into account causality. It was the premeditated actions of the criminals which led to someone's death.
