And in big cities sometimes people get robbed and killed in their own homes and the criminal doesn't get caught right away, sometimes in a week, 2 weeks, a month, maybe they might not get caught at all. Especially in this city where even cameras aren't enough, someone else needs to step up when the police aren't gonna get there in time.
I hate Baltimore. I'm 30 minutes away and I avoid it like the plague.

To your point though, yes if a man is robbing you at knifepoint, but a bullet in him and shoot to kill. Human beings understand compassion and reason, animals understand force.
