I have a pretty good sense of right and wrong. I mean I won't go out and kick a dog, slap a child, set fire to a bus full of nuns or anything like that, but if I find a twenty dollar bill on the street, I'm going to pocket it and keep right on going. I wouldn't ever drink and drive, rob a bank or commit any other serious crimes, but if I noticed that the cashier didn't charge me for something but packed it into the bag anyway... Kinda like finder's keepers.
Right and wrong isn't so black and white, is it? Sure, killing someone is wrong... But, what if it was "killing someone because..." they hurt my child, they were trying to do harm to me or mine, they were about to set fire to the bus full of nuns... What if they REALLY deserved it?
Alright, it may be that I am in no position to judge who should live and who should die, but in some instances, I would make the instant judgment call and "pull the trigger", so to speak.
For example, the "me or mine" thing, especially the kids (mine AND Lucky's). A person or persons would not be able to pray hard enough to protect them from what I would do to them. As far as the "me" thing? Well, the difference would be severe injury and bodily harm or the ultimate extreme... "If I'm goin' out, I'm takin' you with me".
I don't think that there's a reason for random acts of violence and I don't promote it, but if the fight is brought right to my doorstep... I may not win, I may have my rear end handed to me or I may win and hand someone their rear end... in the end, they will remember tangling with me.
