Here’s the most heart-warming news story you’ll read today:

The grandpa of one of three armed robber teens shot dead by an AR-15 believes “they did not deserve to die”

As the title suggests, three teenagers decided it would be a really good idea to break into another fellers house while the home owner was sleeping. The robbers had weapons like brass knuckles and knives; the home owner had an AR-15. Guess who won. One of the now-former teenagers grandfathers said this gem;

“What these three boys did was stupid. They knew they could be punished for it but they did not deserve to die. Brass knuckles against an AR-15, come on, who was afraid for their life? There’s got to be a limit to that law. I mean he shot all three of them; there was no need for that.”

Yeah, there was no need for that. His grandson didn’t need to engage in armed burglary. But he did; and a violent death is substantially increased when one decides to engage in petty evil.

Even better; the three had themselves a getaway driver, a 21-year-old woman. A 21-year-old woman who is now being charged with three counts of first degree murder. Ha!

While the gene pool is undeniably better off, there is a sour note to report: the feller who defended himself  is reportedly “distressed” for being forced to open fire. This is not unusual, of course. Even in cases when the homicide is not only justifiable but praiseworthy, the act of taking another’s life is something the average human brain has some trouble with. Getting past that and making killing easy requires a sociopathic or psychopathic mind, bad parenting, brainwashing or indoctrination into a “religion of peace” (but then, I repeat myself).
