[QUOTE="Zombie_Babies, post: 6213178, member: 6750039"] I didn't say she got off with no consequences, I'm saying she got off light. She should have gone to prison. Killing someone cuz you think they might do something bad isn't justification. If it was there'd be a hell of a lot more dead people around. When person A kills person B for whatever reason they aren't given 8 years probation. Different circumstances are obviously important to consider. Her circumstances did not justify the sentence she received. First, I don't care that this bastard is dead either - just want to make that clear. Second, ok, 'cold blood' is probably overkill (tee hee) as a descriptor here. That's fair. Nth, she had many other options available. She chose, instead, to become judge jury and executioner when she had no immediate need to take his life. She could have called the cops or [I]she could have walked out of the door[/I]. There were a lot more options than the last resort and yet that's where she decided to start solving her problem. There was no imminent threat to her or her daughter. None. She acted as though there was. She therefore acted improperly and should have been punished accordingly. Again, 'might' has never been sufficient cause. If it were I could try to get you angry enough to threaten me over the internet here, find you, shoot you and get off with probation because you 'might' actually hurt me. That's not a world any of us wants to live in. And, again, it's not ok to go from zero to shoot him in the face when there are perfectly reasonable options in between. She chose to kill him even though she could have done a few other things before it got that far. Again, if he was in the process of harming her or her daughter or was just about to start her shooting him would have been fine. She shot him [I]in his sleep[/I]. The only thing he was imminently threatening was the pillow he was about to drool on. It didn't shoot him, she did. [/QUOTE]
