Sweet justice.

ROYAL PALM BEACH, Fla. -- A 19-year-old is dead after an early morning shooting in Royal Palm Beach Thursday. According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, at around 4:30 a.m., a group of suspects stole a pick-up truck from the Royal Village Townhouse community. After stealing the pick-up truck, the suspects went to a different area in the community and attempted to steal a motorcycle at on 139 Sparrow Drive, PBSO reports. As they were attempting to load it onto the truck, the bike's owner woke up to his dog barking. From his second-story window, he saw what was happening. That's when he says one of the victims pointed what looked like a weapon at him. So he grabbed his gun and shot 19-year-old Benjy Young, killing him. Young has an extensive criminal record -- including an arrest in July of 2010 for homicide. Deputies are now on the hunt for the other suspects who fled the scene. "[We] still got two others that are on the loose, and they could be lookin' at felony murder charges because they were committing a crime that ended in death, so that charge could fit them," said Deputy Eric Davis. Currently, no charges are being filed against the motorcycle owner. Davis says this was a matter of protecting his property and protecting himself. Young's body has been taken to the medical examiner.

A friend of mine was gunned down in his driveway many years ago, an outstanding example of a human being who was loved and respected by all that knew him. I'm sure someone somewhere took pleasure in his death, one of those is on death row now.
I've seen too much death up close and personal to be able to take any pleasure in it, no matter who it was that died and no matter the circumstances of their death. To do otherwise would make me no better than the person who pulled the trigger and ended my friend's life. Note, and it's really sad that I have to say this and spell it out here, I'm not supporting or agreeing with the criminal's actions, nor am I disagreeing with or attacking the actions of the person defending his property in this tragic situation. Anyone who would claim otherwise is mistaken. This was a tragic situation, as is the death of any human being. The young man, teenager, had a mother and father who presumably loved him and are grieving their loss. Perhaps he had brothers and sisters who cared for him as well. He made some really bad choices, decisions that led to the end of his life. I, for one, make the conscious choice to not celebrate his death or to feel pleasure in his killing. I feel sadness for his mistakes, and feel sorry for those who achieve pleasure in his death. |

1 dead violent criminal = approx. 60k saving in your state's budget, more than enough to put a child through school from 1st through 12th grade, probably through 2 more yrs. community college even.

I dunno. There's still a wide gap between understanding something to be necessary, and taking pleasure in it.
Personally, I won't be shedding many tears for the miscreants described in the first post.

You need to brush up on your reading comprehension skills. My sentence that you quoted said that I take no pleasure in the deaths of others, it did not say that I'm against the death penalty imposed upon my friend's murderer. You're creating something out of nothing when you claim otherwise. Now, the interesting bit is, will you be able to admit you made a mistake when reading what I wrote?

I spare no sympathy for those guilty but at the same time, retaliative justice does not equal pleasure. To me this story is a case of a violent life met with a violent end.

Well I didn't see anyone "taking pleasure" in this, in any post prior to his. So I assume he was referring to my thread title and replied accordingly.

I was referring to the actual story posted in the body of your post, reflecting that it's a tragedy that a kid (and from my point of view/age, he was definitely a kid) wound up getting himself killed due to really bad decisions and choices. Not only that, but the property owner likely will have to deal with mental consequences as well, because only a true psychopath could kill someone and not be bothered by it at all, IMHO.
I know people who have taken the lives of others through no fault of their own, it changed them. I've had the opportunity to end a life of a burglar in circumstances that would have left me legally off the hook completely, and I chose not to because I didn't want that on my conscious even though it would have been completely justified. Few people are presented with that choice in their lives, and fewer still truly know how they will react, or truly understand what the results will be. |

Well I just want to know why you would support the death of one criminal and not another? Is it only because of the personal connection with the one on death row? Or is it because you believe so deeply in the judicial system and due process of law?

I dont think thats what he's saying. I think he's just saying that any loss of life is tragic, and that the young man made poor choices which is also unfortunate and thats why he lost his life.... I think thats what he is trying to say. Which for the most part I agree. Death of a young man is always sad, but the choices he was making were foolish and were bound to catch up with him.

Well you can't say you support the death penalty, and then say any loss of life under any circumstances is tragic. So I'll wait for his answer.

Im not trying to argue, I just see what frugal is trying to say here. And he confirmed my assumptions I would have to agree with him... but of course I feel that this shooting was "justified" Another piece of crap off the street... Its unfortunate to me that he was a crappy human being, but he was still after all human. Do I feel sorry for him? No. but I feel sorry for the people in his life who tried to show him the way and failed.

So please, just answer this very, VERY easy question: Would it have been better if somehow this situation was resolved in a way that didn't end in the death of this A simple yes or no will do just fine. (On second thought, this might actually be a very difficult question for you since you only know how to answer questions like a politician would. The answer is purely subjective, which requires you to have your own opinion. Just try your best.) Awww don't run away.

I know that the guy was a criminal, but I feel bad for the property owner, since he has to live with the fact that he killed someone his whole life.
