lebell, while i agree that I'd probably become...well, let's just say pretty scary when/if someone tried to rape someone i loved and i had a gun..i could honestly say i'd probably kill him 7 different ways from sunday after cutting off his genitals and shoving them in his eye sockets and putting his head on a pike out in front as a warning for others...
with that said, i think that saying "stop" once or twice as a warning would be a reasonable expectation. It's not expecting to reason with someone, just a chance to see if all is lost. i do ask first, shoot later.
With that said, the guy in your story, though very touching, didn't really stand a chance against a pack of people out with violent intentions. It isnt the movies where 1 man takes out 20 with a pen. Sorry, that is pretty rare in this world, unless he's navy seal or some such. If he had a gun, he probably could have taken a couple out, which is a good thing, but ultimately, the outcome would *probably* be the same. In that particular case, i don't think the outcome could be much different.
On to the original question: is killing wrong. In a short word, yes, it's wrong. but i also feel it is justifiable. Just ask me if someone rapes my wife, you'll have to get my teeth out of his throat, though..
