True, Enmos, but couldn't you make the same argument for having them go to jail?
being killed for something you did or going to jail for something you did? Don't both affect relatives also?
True.
But I think the family of a burglar would have a hell of a nerve to shoot you for defending yourself and your own. For example...I love my sister, but if she broke into someone's house, I would not expect them to lie down and not defend themselves because she's my sister.

Would you shrug and say it's her own fault ?
