20 years for a killing, man may only serve two

[birdmove]

Well, as I've been taken to task before on this forum for stating that, there will never be a time when I run away from my home when it's invaided by some criminal(s)--instead I will stand and fight (and have done this once in my life already). I was told that, in the state of Hawaii, you are expected to run away and give your home over to the invaders, rather than defend yourself, or you are breaking the law. I don't understand this attitude. The fact is that if someone breaks in and attacks you in your own home, then your life is in danger. It's got nothing to do with material possesions. It's got to do with defending yourself when your life is threatened. That's my take.
