calling this a brag is a bit depressing.

Seriously. While the shooting was justified, the ideal outcome would have been for the robber to drop the gun and go to jail. We don't give the death penalty for armed robbery. Also, shooting people will mess you up, even if they deserved it.

Maybe next time it will work out better for the armed robbers/hostage takers.

Oh wait, there won't be a next time.

Not pulling the trigger may have cost his friend his life. There is absolutely no moral blame to be laid on this guy whatsover. He took the action that was most calculated to protect innocent human life.

For those of you that would have just let it happen, I respectfully submit that there is a substantial chance that your armed robber/ hostage taker is not the most stable individual, probably does not have a "heart of gold" and may very well kill you even if you do absolutely everything he says. he is after all, an armed hostage taker.

The only thing that needs to be debated is what kind of beer to drink at the parade we have for his buddy.
