Jeremy Sand:  I am not implying that it was "OK" for him to be in her home.   But why did his punishment have to be Death?   Burglarizing a home in Oregon is not a capital crime that can get you the death sentence.  Yet, the way our law is written, any homeowner can pretty much blow away any stranger that they find in their home.

I think that anyone that advocates killing other human beings most definitely needs a mental health evaluation.  In Germany, people are required to get a psychiatric evaluation before they can get a license to own firearms.   All gun owners, including this mother, need to have their heads examined.

To kill is a violation of one of God's Holy Commandments.  You may judge this woman favorably, but tell me this: how will God judge her?  

It will be interesting to see if we ever find out more about this man.  I would bet anything that he was just some poor, old homeless dude.

I will only take my words back, if it turns out the man was a career criminal.
