A Life is a Life, NO MATTER WHAT.

Last night a man came home to find someone inside their condo, a robbery taking place. The home owner shot and killed the intruder. It's all over the news today, the cameras are outside; I'm avoiding them this time. (last time someone was killed by the place I was living I was interviewed by a few channels)

Yes, it was the second or third home invasion this month, yes, someone did break in and was stealing everything, but no, that does not make it okay to take a life. Now, I know that it could have been a situation where it was self defence, and that's probably why the home owner is not in custody, but two wrongs just don't make a right, a life is a life.

I don't know what scares me more- the fact that there's been so many home invasions and robberies, or the fact that I have a neighbor who carries a gun and is ready to shoot if need be!

At some point in time, the man who died was somebody's pride and joy, their own baby boy, and said their first word, took their first steps, lost their first tooth... somewhere in his life he made a poor choice, that led him to another poor choice, that put him on the wrong path. It doesn't mean that it's any excuse for him breaking and entering, but it doesn't give anyone the right to take his life.

But, then again, I'm pretty pro-life, anti-gun, anti-death penalty. Of course, I'm also anti-violence... I'm praying for the soul of the man who killed, as well as the man who died.
