Did he get what he deserved?

[TheDude]

I would have done the exact same thing. On top of it, this guys sounded like he was a little crazy on top of being a thief.

Hopefully no neighbors from across the block were hit with errant shots.

Poor robber.

According to penal code 12364S, sub section 3b, paragraph 1c, the Robber has rights. This guy should face the harshest penalty in the land. He could've just reached out and tackled the guy. Or just asked him to leave. I mean, the robber CLEARLY wasn't there to harm anyone, he was eating a sandwich for hell sakes!

Lt. Dave Caron with the Springville Police Department said the intruder entered the home through a back door that the homeowners thought they had locked. The robber then took off his clothes that had become wet while traipsing through the snow and change into some of the resident's clothes, which were folded on the couch in the living room. Caron said the intruder then went to the kitchen, made a tortilla and ham wrap, ate some of it, and returned the uneaten portion to the refrigerator before going upstairs.

Audacious

Yeh I heard about this on the news this morning, If some dude breaks into your house it's fair game, you have no idea what the guy is going to do to you.

I mean, the robber CLEARLY wasn't there to harm anyone, he was eating a sandwich for hell sakes!

LOL. Hope the sandwich was worth it.

As to "what trauma", don't be a moron.
It's pretty well documented that normal people are not okay with killing someone, even on accident.

I realize you're not a fan of heavy reading, but I found this for you:

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...xqi1Bg&usg=AFQjCNFp-meGSNrpGi_bnwhjx7p5O-bgGg

Officers experienced a sense of elation at some point following 33 of the shootings. The
directed interviews identified three types of elation among the officers who reported experiencing it. The first sort that officers spoke of was a sense of joy about having survived a life-threatening situation. The officers who experienced this form of elation reported a profound satisfaction about being alive following an event that could have left them dead. The second type of elation reported is a form of exhilaration (most often in the first 24 hours) that appears to be a type of residual emotion from the sheer excitement of the situation where they fired. As one officer put it, he was “hyped-up” for a while after his shooting. The third type of elation officers described – which takes two distinct forms – is deep satisfaction about doing their job properly.

The first form of deep satisfaction was felt by officers who reported that they had wondered how they would perform if they were ever involved in what they described as the utmost challenge in a law enforcement career: an encounter where deadly force is necessary. These officers reported feeling elated that they had passed this ultimate test.

You ought to read what actually "traumatizes" many officers, which often center on secondary issues such as civil lawsuits and media outrage, moron.

So what about soldiers that experience trauma even when killing the enemy? I recently saw a WW2 documentary where an old man was balling talking about an experience where he had killed a German soldier in close combat.


It's common that humans suffer mentally even after situations of kill or be killed.

 

[Siro]

Oh for ****'s sake. Everyone is different. There are serial killers who get off torturing people to death. On the other hand, I have a friend who ran over a cat a few years ago, and it stuck with him.

Gross. He didn't even try to scrape it off?

 

[Jazz Spazz]

bla bla bla, I like to hear myself talk, I like to read what I write, and I think I'm smarter than everyone else, bla bla bla

I like to compare a civilian that has to kill a person that invaded his home, to a police officer that is trained to deal with situations like that, oh, and I am a complete and utter moron.

Ok, thanks franklin

Having never killed anybody, I would assume a certain amount of trauma would come with it. With that being said, I would be much more elated/relieved by the fact that I had just prevented my wife and children from possibly suffering a fate worse that being shot to death. Saving my family and myself would be more than enough to help me move on from the fact that I just killed somebody.

I've prepared myself in advance and have already justified defending myself from any intruder into my castle.

I think getting lost in this thread is the fact that Franklin lives in a castle, which obviously means he is either super rich, or that he's Count Chocula.

Either way, I think it's pretty ****ing awesome.

True.
That doesn't mean there still won't be issues that come from it. That guy and his wife if she was there will remember that moment for the rest of their lives. Maybe they will be fine, but it's also very possible they will have some tough times because of it as well.

I'm sure the good outweighs the bad, but the bad is still there.
That's all I'm saying.
