I thank god that I've never wound up in that situation.
It's not that I care that much if I put down some thug who put me in the situation of doing something that I don't really want to do, but I know that there will almost certainly be wide ranging repercussions that are going to cause me a lot of heartache. I really find it hard to believe that I will wind up with a lot of emotional problems after doing something that had to be done.
This ain't like drowning a litter of kittens, it is a situation of survival.
Everybody should tattoo that on their trigger fingers. It's a matter of survival. Your options were limited, and you made the decision because you were forced into it. Guilt and second guessing aren't going to do anyone any good.
