Mainly because it was in a crowded IHOP, and I was 60% sure he wouldn't, but many considered it to be a reckless move on my part. If my death would insure the extinction of those whom can't be rehabilitated, I would die for it. What's my life compared to the lives of my children who might one day fall victim to a sociopath? Nothing. I don't just feel that way about my own kids, but all the good and harmless people in the world.
I've lived an interesting, amazing life. I'm not afraid to die, especially for a good cause. The only tragedy would be if I hadn't finished writing my memoir.

Why not?
Because good people have to pay for the boxes.
Neither am I. I have been in similar situations as well.
The thought of killing someone ELSE who is innocent is my problem.

If a person kills three people premeditatively, and does so with absolute disregard for their humanity, mine is gone for that person. This is not a case in which doubt exists. Burn the motherfuckers alive.
For you..but what about the jury that has to take peoples words on it?
