I have a question.
Was the security guard a licensed peace officer?
If so, it wasn't a sin. She had delegated authority from the government to use lethal force if necessary. We might be able to argue the ethics from a Christian perspective all day long... but if she was a licensed peace officer she has not sinned.
Now from a Christian perspective... where was she when Stephen was being stoned? Can you provide at least one example of a Christian using lethal force in the New Testament? They faced more serious dangers than we do.
