Agreed. Any rational gun owner would do that same. I am sad that Kyle had to kill someone, but happy it was someone who should have been executed on his first go at the legal system. Proud of my boy.
He's 17, knows to try to distance himself to avoid conflict, holds onto his weapon and accurately fires from multiple positions as a last resort under EXTREME duress while being attacked by multiple assailants with intentions to harm him as they are trying to disarm him, and STILL has trigger discipline when he gets up and scans for more threats after neutralizing arm guy.
Kyle was trained properly and is most likely alive because of that training.
Yeah. We joke about it on here, but he has to live with killing two people in one night for the rest of his life. Hope he can properly contextualize it.
Right. It isn't something that anyone WANTS to live with, but perhaps he will be able to compartmentalize it with the realization they were going to end him if he didn't end them.
I've worried about that from the first night... Even more when they arrested him and took him away from his support system. I imagine that he knows he did the right thing, but it still would be hard to process that you ended 2 lives.

I'm impressed that Kyle, 17, had the presence of mind and composure to not lose his weapon in all of this.

"As a consequence of your action, this entity will continue. And this entity will not."
It was a worthwhile trade, and I hope he doesn't forget that. His reaction was textbook, and he should be proud of his control and restraint.

Might be a lot of counseling needed by a lot of people in the future.
