The repercussions vary, but that’s not their job, they leave it up for the courts to decide what type of steps should be taken. They do admit at times to scarring kids, saying that their going away for a long time, and basically just being more lenient.
When I asked if they thought killing someone in self defense was wrong, they replied if you can’t call us first then by all means do anything necessary to escape. Both agreed they feel better when they have done a goodnight’s job, but wish more could be done to ensure people a right to live as they wish no matter where that might be.
