Read the story in the morning paper. Police say he was protecting his property and his wife. But you know how stories can be turned. Looks like HPD shot a female robbery suspect that same day. Four more turds off the street.

Good for him, thievin' bastards......I'm pretty sure he'll be no billed, given the circumstances, i.e., robbing his jewelry store, tied up his wife etc.........in addition, he can't be sued by the perps family members, as the castle doctrine protects his right to defend his property.........I hope he has a speedy and full recovery......somebody get that man a beer.......

Exactly. People don't stand up for what is right anymore. Society likes to make these robbers into victims of their station in life and blame everyone else for their actions. It's my fault that these three guys decided to rob an innocent man to get what they wanted because I live in a nice house and have a nice family and nice things and these three didn't. I MADE them resort to violence to get what they wanted because I was flaunting what they didn't have in front of them. I think that the author Terry Goodkind sums this up nicely;

"Your unconditional rejection of violence makes you smugly think of yourselves as noble, as enlightened, but in reality it is nothing less than abject moral capitulation to evil. Unconditional rejection of self-defense, because you think it's a supposed surrender to violence, leaves you no resort but begging for mercy or offering appeasement. Evil grants no mercy, and to attempt to appease it is nothing more than a piecemeal surrender to it. Surrender to evil is slavery at best, death at worst. Thus, your unconditional rejection of violence is really nothing more than embracing death as preferable to life. You will achieve what you embrace. The right, the absolute necessity, of vengeance against anyone who initiates force against you is fundamental to survival. Refusing to surrender your life to any thug or tyrant who lays claim to it is in fact embracing life itself. If you are unwilling to defend your right to your own lives, then you are merely like mice trying to argue with owls. You think their ways are wrong. They think you are dinner."
