I perhaps have a diferefnt view and take for you on the matter of having to stop a child from committing some kind of heinous or murderous act against oneself or others, and that is this:Whilst in the streets, I determined long ago that if confronted by a child wielding deadly force ready to be used or being used against other persons, that I would not hesitate in lawfully stopping that person using, if necessary, deadly force in kind. Some people labeled me a monster for entertaining and stating such things. I call myself a Realist for this very important reason: children, in possession of deadly force (handgun, long gun, shotgun, etc) have little if any concept of mortality or a sense of what death or injury truly means. Children now, in particular, have a reality tempered by video games and a disconnect between act and consequence. I would have then (and now) dropped the hammer on a child with the same alacrity I would an adult in similar scenarios – actually, perhaps even quicker. Luckily that situation never occurred with a child, only with adults.BZ
