‘And I’m glad to stand where I stand.’

‘cept that Shaver might just as easily have been you, or someone you love; not standing at all, but huddled in a mass on the floor with one crazed lunatic screeching at the top of his lungs about killing you, and another one with an itchy trigger finger looking to get his rocks off...I’m sure you’d be glad as hell about that...

really, for your own good; stop trying to justify the unjust...

Because, I would not be glad, I've always myself and in my advice to friends and relatives - especially when talking about tragic case like this - make a point of sticking to two rules: 1) always keep your hands in sight 2) do not make any sudden moves.

And I pray they always remember that advise rather than the cheap 2nd guessing of split-second life-and-death decisions as found in the replies I'm receiving.
