I certainly don't want to sound overly harsh, but if two thugs in black masks try to rob me at gunpoint, most likely in the dark, with a mean looking gun that might go full-auto, I'm not feeling sorry for them when they cry like a baby.
There's no mutual exclusion between feeling pity for the dying man and understanding that it was a fate he made for himself. Pity is not forgiveness -- I feel very sorry for the guy in this story, but I also know that he only got what he deserved and should have expected.
And that's exactly where I'm coming from. It's a pity that someone raised this guy to be the scum that he is. It's a pity that somebody didn't whop the tar out of him the first time he stole something, or hurt someone just for fun. If he had had a father that would have made him toe the line, he may not have turned out this way.
But, he did turn out to be a dangerous human being with no respect for anyone but himself. I would have no remorse for shooting down a BG like that.
And yes, I've seen and treated sucking chest wounds from GS's in the E.R. That wouldn'tgive me much cause for remorse or concern.
These thoughts are exactly how I feel about a BG being shot. I am a deep thinker, and I am a people watcher. Sometimes when I observe people going about their daily business let’s say a guy working in landscaping, a woman walking her dog, a teenager walking from school, I think about how in this world there are people that will harm these people for no reason what-so-ever, when realizing how true this is, and how people don’t see the need for protection really hurts me inside because these people who may be very kind people, and someone would do them harm and not care about them or their love ones in the least bit.
People like this guy who got shot would, kill, maim, or hurt anyone for a dollar bill, or a leather coat, or anything simple like that. Why would I feel sorry for these BG’s if they are having a slow death from being shot my me or a person that did what they had to do to stay alive. They would kill you, me OR ANYONE in a worst way if they could. They (BG) chose this lifestyle along with all the dangers that comes with it. WE don’t choose to live this thug life, or a life of crime because we know it does not pay. He knew the risk and it was a gamble with his life and was willing to take this risk on his life, and I don’t feel sorry for him at all. Now going back to the innocent people I mentioned earlier. If they are killed by one of these BG. I hate to see that, and it hurts my heart to see it. I could go on and on about this, but it just bothers me so much, how this world is so evil.
