Aw, I hadn't heard about the family - how sad.

Indeed, poor decisions in all cases. I hold everyone in the situation accountable for their behavior, and I am not presuming they were, like Jean Valjean, stealing a loaf of bread to feed their children. I'm just trying to say that in the sliding scale of ethics, I have less of a problem with stealing than killing. Which, I think, is an obvious thing to say? But still deserves to be said.

But then, I think I'm really not particularly feeling sympathy for the killed as much as I am feeling disgusted by the killer (and by Texas in general for their approval of vigilante "justice" for trespassing cases. When we visited my brother while he lived outside of Houston, he advised use never to set foot on anyone else's property because of the trespassing rule, and I promptly decided I was never going to live in Texas.)
