Comment: As with everything, especially in the legal and political arena, things are more complicated than they appear. Many might say that justification for taking a life is only if it is kill or be killed. Some will say it also extends to defense of another persons life, be it a family member, or not. Some will say it is justified to eliminate a threat of mortal danger, real or perceived. And who can rightfully judge that unless you are there, living it. In the split second you have to evaluate a threat and act on it, who can blame anyone who errs on the side of their own survival?
