As for the young man who defended himself and protected his sister. When seconds count, the police are only minutes away. Live is about making choices, he choose to live and have his sister live. All choices we make are not easy ones. He made a hard one.
As for the young men who invaded the home, armed, with intent to do harm. They also had the ability to make both good and bad choices, all the way to the end. They made the choices they did and reaped the rewards of them. Unfortunately, when an individual makes bad choices it often impacts others. In this case, their own families. Those families now have to make choices about how to deal with the bad choices the young men made. In this case, it involves a funeral rather than how to visit them in jail, however, actions always have results. Contrary to present "feel good" "self esteem" teaching, in the real world you are held accountable for your actions. Grant... AZ....
