I couldn't live with myself knowing I lied about something just so I could shoot someone. If I'm going to shoot someone, there's going to be a damn good reason for it. And it's not going to be a technicality that allows me to do it.





My argument with the last part is this... bear with me..


Prosecution/Attorney for the guy you shot: Mr. D, why did you enter the home, knowing that entering the home could put you in danger, on the night in question? Why did you put yourself in danger? If you would have just waited for the police these two innocent children would still be alive today. These kids meant no harm to you. But you ran in and played hero, gunning down two unarmed innocent children!!!!!!!

How are you going to answer that and NOT sound like a raging lunatic to the jury?
The previous post was meant to be "tongue-in-cheek." I hope to never take another life unless I have a damn good reason. Even then, I expect it will possibly haunt me till the day I die.

As for answering the prosecutor, "why did you enter the home, knowing that entering the home could put you in danger" I'd have to remind him that I am not a pussy, and take it from there.
