So if he broke into your home, robbed your family and took your copper pipes, your attitude would be "poor guy, he just trying to provide for his family"?
I guess we should feel some for the guy killed during an armed robbery cause he has hungry kids at home? Forgotten Harvest provides food for the needy every first and third Wednesday at my church, also every first and third Thursday on Woodward in Detroits Boston Edison district. Sorry if I don't have any sympathy for those that die during the commission of a crime when help and assistance is so readily available.
