- I thank you all for the discussion. As I said, I gave the benefit of the doubt
- to the victims, and was basing my opinions solely on the first account given.
- It is apparent from the added information presented by various posters that
- there was no doubt as to the continuing immediate danger that was present,
- which fully justified the actions.
