Subject: RE: The right to kill??
Pay no attention to them, Annamill. I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through that, and glad to hear that neither you nor your unborn child was physically harmed.

Yes, it is a sad fact that those who rob and run away live to rob another day... and perhaps worse. But GUEST, what would you have had Annamill do in the weaponless circumstance she described? Talk the perp into never robbing or raping anyone ever again? Go into premature labor and shoot the baby at him? Call the police instead of counting to 100, and make him change his mind about harming her? I assume the police were called after he left, but there's not much they could have done at that point but take prints and a statement. I'm just glad this "touchy-feely" story was that he didn't get excessively touchy-feely with her.
