‘CONFRONTED by four home invaders armed with machetes, knives and an axe, Kesley Burgess locked his girlfriend and mother in a bedroom, told them he loved them and turned to try to fight off the attackers. He had no chance.
The 25-year-old security guard was mercilessly struck down and repeatedly cut and stabbed.’

After all, by far the greater evil would be if this young man should still be alive, having shot one or two of his attackers..

IT IS TIME TO IGNORE THE LAW. Laws are supposed to serve the people, not people the laws. No, the answer is not “stronger” laws or stiffer penalties. Those things don’t work. The answer is to restore the right of people to protect themselves in the most effective way possible.
