What is the Moral Thing to Do?

[Felix_Nietsche]

A Louisiana man was guarding his home New Orleans home when a machete armed thug tried to forcibly enter his house. The home owner told him to get the hell out of his home, the thug told him to cooperate or he would die. The homeowner brandished his shotgun and the thug slowly backed off and left. How should the homeowner have handled that situation?

The only practical and realistic option is #2, which is what the guy did.

And safer for EVERYONE in the area. Forget if this guy was going to rob the person next door. Was he going to rape and murder someone next door....

So the people that shot at the rescue helicopter where just doing the moral thing.... They could have been saving some thugs.

Shoot all relief workers trying to help the victims. We will all be better off without a bunch of trash from LA.

What happens to the next guy the thug encounters who isn't fortunate enough to own a weapon?

He should shoot the thug and do society a HUGE favor.

Killing this thug will save lives.

Not necessarily. The only sure thing is it will kill one person.
