To people that say "just shoot him in the leg." - First of all, a Navy SEAL sniper would probably have trouble pulling that one off. Second, you do know that the Femoral Artery is in the thigh, right? That means a shot to the thigh has a good if not great chance of killing them anyways. Third, when someone's life is in danger, you always match the threat and do it in the most efficient way. Don't use tasers, or beanbag rounds, but live ammo aimed at the chest.

@MxRider710 Thanks! I'll definitely enjoy the career, have a good day!

@mmpeleg Yeah, it is brutal, but you fight to survive. That's what you're trained. And that's great man! I wish you the best of luck with becoming an LEO! Many people choose that field especially with Military experience. Can't go wrong with it!

[mmpeleg]

@MxRider710 Exactly! I have military experience and I am going to college to be a LEO. I know that in situations like this, you always try to kill, not wound. It sounds brutal but it's reality, reality is brutal.

@KaiZ76 if he went to jail, he would've been beaten to death.

But High Stakes for a child's life, meant he had to go sooner.

If Hell exists, he's in it.

@chaneldowney Then do something to make the world a better place instead of sitting on your fat butt and moaning about it.

@theraVen27 if a deed is truly good, then there is no need to punish.
