The below link is a news story about 4 children, ages 11 to 13, that committed several burglaries and was found in possession of several handguns when arrested. The link below is them robbing an ice cream truck then pulling an air soft gun (I'm sure the trucks owner had no idea the gun was "fake") at the trucks owner when he gave chase. Most always picture the "boogie man" as a grown man, rough looking with a nasty scar on his left cheek. Odds are, non of us would hesitate to use deadly force against such a character. But what about when it's a kid, a pregnant woman or an elderly person that his/her dementia is making them act violently?
I would like to think that I wouldn't allow myself to do a "double take" of a threat, but rather act the same way in the face of any threat. But are we keeping in mind that danger comes in all different sizes, ages and appearances?
