Not often realized is that this shooting has a long term effect on future crime as well. A fact that liberals try to suppress is that crimes are committed by criminals, not guns, and not poor people.

Criminals have the attitude that what's yours is theirs, and if you get in their way they can do whatever they want to you for interfering. Most criminals start at an early age and continue their chosen profession whenever they're not in prison - they are usually not rehabilitated and instead learn new tricks. Killing one early on probably eliminates a hundred or more future crimes and quite possibly a few lives as well.
