[@iononcantomascrivo]

I swear this woman could have been my mom talking about my dead brother. She always played favorites with him and he got away with everything. He was put on a pedestal. My parents practically canonized him because he was the golden boy jock. Once it was discovered that my brother was on the wrong side of the law, as far back as middle school, they asked him to his face what he was doing. He denied, lied and deflected all of their questions while pretending that it was all a great big misunderstanding. Being the stupidly optimistic individuals that they were, they decided to accept what he had said as fact instead of cleverly rehearsed fiction. By the time he was in high school, his acting out had gotten worse. They finally decided to put their feet down and get him into therapy. A lot of good it did. He had lived without anything resembling consistent discipline or boundaries for over a decade and a half. We thought he had turned over a new leaf when he enlisted in the military. He made it 90% of his enlistment before he chose to leave voluntarily after getting busted while driving under the influence. Not just booze, but narcotics. Many of you who have served in the American military know that an Article 15 is not a career ender, but he couldn't handle the humiliation of losing rank or having to perform extra duty while all of his buddies whispered about him. I think part of the reason why my brother chose to leave with his tail between his legs was because he wasn't used to being the one who was picked on or mocked. When we were kids, he was a bully and ran with a tough crowd. All of a sudden he was on the other end of the stick and he didn't like it. For the following 20 years after that, he lived off of the government on his well-earned benefits but chose to spend his government check on drugs, partying and going in and out of rehab. He died right before last Thanksgiving. I still haven't cried. It's hard to grieve for the person who used to beat me up and, at one point, tried to kill me.

At the end of the day, you can raise someone in the best way possible and they can still be a good person most of the time, but if they make even 1 really bad decision it could negatively change their life and those around them.

What bothers me the most is you can still be charged for misremembering how many times you shot, not stopping shooting fast enough, etc. If you’re being robbed by someone, you should be able to empty a mag, reload, and empty another.

[@michaelalbertson7457]

@@bayoen9819 Which could be why the man shot him so many times. He probably was upset about all the execution style murders committed by robbers, and other non repentant criminals, and then that robber shows up where he is. God allowed it, and the community is safe from that robber, so leave the guy alone, he was on the right side. If you don't wanna do the time, don't do the crime. Unfortunately for the robber, time for him is in eternal torment in hell. Many have not experienced that, so be thankful to God, and repent. Eternity is a long time. God cares about us.

Good parenting does have its place for sure. Yet, many children born especially in the last 60 years are disobedient nasties. It's the consequences of a society that " spares the rod and spoils the child ". No one is the product of their environment, we all have a choice to good or evil. Apparently, it's easier for many to do evil than to refine themselves to do good in truth.

He wasn't leaving, he still had his arm raised aiming the gun, so he was still a threat to the people he's aiming towards. When a gun owner aims and shoots, he isn't shooting to disarm the other person, they are shooting to end the threat, that means shooting until that person is no longer a threat. And yes, that means shooting until they are no longer able to move, which usually means death.
