I wonder how many of the "ill shoot the SOB" have actually ever had to kill a sentient being?
Being a Vet, its part of my job to kill animals sometimes. Its *always* difficult for me, even when i see the neccessity in it.
I dont want to imagine killing another human being. Im not sure id even be able to do it.

I had a rat in my sons room once (this is about 10 years ago) at the time I owned an air rifle, I sat on the floor and waited for it to make a show...
The brave little salamander walked into the middle of the room and sat there looking at me...
I had him lined up and my finger on the trigger (I am a decent shot)... But I could not shoot, He posed no threat to me and he just sat there not looking in the best of health to be honest... In the end I chased him out of the house.....
I say this because I know that I could not shoot somthing that did not pose a threat, yet I know that there are some humans who will kill, maim ect for virtually nothing.... I know this cause I have known people like this...
If I found somone in my house, I have no choice othere than to render them incapable of harming my family.... As I cannot read minds (Not trying to sound smart mate) I do not know their intentions or what they are capable of so I will assume the worst and take action as I see required...
It is unfortunate that the most creative and capable species on the earth is to stupid to raise its off spring to be responsible for its own actions...
PS: Bugs What I ment is that he should be given the chance to become a useful member of society (after paying his debts) but he will most likley reoffend....
