Hello TFL members! Something has come over me the last week and I have turned into a rapid fire TFL posting machine.
Due to pushing the issue, and getting the other thread gutted, I decided it was time to finish what I started.
I had this in mind from the very begining. This is not something recently crafted to change anyones opinion of me. Sometimes what one thinks is not as reality is. Everything I said and I asked I did so truthfully.
Lets begin to finish this:
-----
You hear struggling in your daughters room. You grab a handgun and go investigate. There is a man on top of your daughter in her bed raping her.
The rapist notices you, and leaves your daughters bed to rush an attack at you.
You fire and he falls.
The suspect isn't dead yet. You recognize that the rapist lying on the floor in her room that you just shot. You had seen his picture on the 11'oclock news last night for the rape and viscious murders of 7 other young women.
You say, "Don't friggen move *******" .
The rapist makes a motion towards the bedsheet as if to stuff in his wound to stop his bleeding from the gunshot.
You, feeling it would it be morally wrong to do justice to this person and shoot again, ease off the trigger finger on your weapon.
The rapist clutches the sheet to his lowerchest and grunts in pain.
You look to the right to evaluate the condition of your daughter; you saw in your peripheral vision her moving and begining to stand up.
Four loud sharp thunderclaps ring your ears, you can't feel your legs and you start to slump, two burning sensations, one in your stomach and one in your chest, begin to overcome you as you fall.
The rapist had recovered his .38revolver from where it had gotten caught and fallen under the strewn bedsheet. As it was covered, you did not see it. He fired 4 shots through the bloodstained sheet. Two shots missed, the other two didn't. The one that entered your gut smashed into your spine and broke it, crippling you, bringing you to the floor. The other one passed through your heart, begining the ending your life.
Even though fallen, you can see your daughter. Two rose colored spots appear on the chest of your daughter as faint and muffled thunderclaps again call into your ear. Your daughter falls as you fade out of conciousness.
The rapist/murder grabs your firearm and flees the scene.
Your firearm is later used in 4 more rape/murder events before the bad is finally caught to serve a life sentence that may be reduced to 20years.
-----
Now how do those of highest moral standard and the duty only to stop feel as they lay in their grave?
I know the first thing people are going to say is that its fiction. However, while perhaps fiction, there is a lot of truth to the individual parts.
Sometimes what we think isn't really the reality. A person down and able to move is NOT by default no longer a threat. A dead person, IS by default, no longer a threat.
