When You Have to Shoot First response

After reading this, I totally agree with what the author is trying to portray. It seems wrong initially to kill someone point blank when they have done nothing wrong. But, also security measures and orders have to be followed, or the safety of civilians is at risk. In the case of the incident at Lebanon, the author thought at first killing the wounded attacker was wrong. Although he still had use of his hands which posed him as a threat. I could not imagine having to make a decision whether or not someone dies. It is wrong to take the life of others, because it's not our say. But if it is a threat to you or the people around you, it is your duty to ensure the safety of others. When I read the two incidents, I can completely understand why the people had to carry out their orders. It is better to be safe than sorry. It is sad to think that the suicide bombers have families that love them, but not everyone is brought up to do the right thing. I am glad that our country has so many people willing to risk their lives for our safety every single day.
