First, Sean Taylor is a completely different story. Those burglars broke into HIS house while he slept.
Yes, it is a different story, but maybe if his neighbor confronted the shooters when they broke in a week earlier, he'd still be alive, and it would be the same story.
As to the rest of it, yes, he did make a judgment call on whether they were civilians or criminals, and it appears to be a good call, as they were determined to be breaking into his neighbor’s house. And yes, crimes will continue to happen everywhere. Even though statistically, crime rates are lower where people exercise their right to defend themselves and those they care about, nothing will apparently effectively deter one hundred percent of crime.
These are good points, and you may be correct on more than these. All i was saying was that personally, regardless of law and judicial precedent, or social approval and acceptance, i would not want to know someone died, whether at that time or in the future, because i stood by and did nothing.
