The alternative - having to live with the thought that he took someone's life over a material object that is not worth as much as a human being. Having to live with a burdened conscience, and losing the freedom to pursue whatever his life's aspirations were rather than being confined to a prison for several years.

But guess what? Neither suicide *nor* homicide are reasonable outcomes in this case. Yes, being robbed at gunpoint is a very traumatizing experience, but that's what family and friends are for. You might also be surprised to hear that people even spend years studying and then building a career out of helping others through traumatizing experiences.

A lot of people would save their dog over a random child. My personal material objects most dear to me are definitely worth more to me than some violent criminal.
