Additional Comments: Maybe I am crazy, if any of you on this board thinks I am, let me know. If anyone were going to kill my mom, sister,or any other member of my family, I would kill them and never feel a bit if guilt. I would take the law into my own hands and kill them. I would be just like Michael if someone hurts my family, I do it to them and not feel a bit bad about it.

I think it's a false choice between justification and guilt. It's not one or the other. Just because you're justified in taking someone's life/defending yours or a loved one doesn't mean you don't or shouldn't feel guilt. Soldiers feel guilt, leaders who send others into harms way feel guilt, cops feel guilt. Feeling guilty does not mean you were wrong in your actions.

I think this is the point Jason is trying to make. Even if Michael had to do it, he should still feel conflicted, remorseful, or guilty. The fact that he doesn't appear to feel these things is troubling.

Meanwhile, there's a bunch of people who should feel guilty even though they didn't swing the club--all of those who (1) got into this line of work in the first place; (2) knew Claud ordered the hit and knew when it came out things would be bad; (3) knew what Sonny was doing in that speech, i.e. amping things up and cornering Claud; and (4) mostly to Sonny for being so stupid to corner that loon knowing she had a gun and was in a room with supposedly all of this friends and family.

Well, I'm not from a certain state so I guess I wouldn't shoot first and ask questions later.  My family would have to be dead before I think about killing the killer.  I don't think I would jump to conclusions or assume that someone was going to do something.  I wouldn't kill someone for making a threat against my family.

I think I like you...

You should live in the state that i what reside about.

If you can prove you were ''protecting your family''...they let you do pretty damn much anything here...

In fact, most the stuff and alwas the other 49 states follow my state routinely ignores.

Its pretty cool.
