I think I have to side with the "victim" here. The whole operation was a shakedown. Whatever the media bias was, it's clear that his only crime was wanting to sleep with some young girls. I see nothing morally wrong with prostitution, and certainly no reason why it should matter that they were one year underage. He just wanted sex. That's no crime. Meanwhile, the girls tried to extort cash. And when he didn't comply, they threatened him. For his life. Are you arguing that because he had a gun and they had a knife that it was somehow unfair? Cause it's not about a "fair fight". It's about self defense. Clearly. They had a knife. If he hadn't had the gun, it's obvious that he'd have been injured. The guy did nothing wrong. And if you're going to bring up his wife, well, the desire for an affair, whatever your personal moral judgement, is nothing compared to out and out robbery.

It's sad that the girl died, it's godawful sad. I'd hate to have known her. Or, god forbid, been her parent. But she did. And I'm not saying it's her fault. But it's not the guys fault either.

Well, that's my take, for whatever it's worth.
