I think Mr. Gerlach's quote is spot on:

A bit sad that some people here don't regard Kaluza-Graham as a Human, when THE GUY HE WAS STEALING FROM clearly considers him one
I'm not saying that you're not entitled to your opinions, I'm just pointing out that the guy you're defending disagrees with you.
I also feel sorry for Brendon Kaluza-Graham's family.

Gerlach’s wife, Sharon, wept and embraced her family as the verdict, not guilty on both a first-degree and second-degree manslaughter charge, was read in open court. Ann Kaluza-Graham, grandmother of the man shot dead trying to steal Gerlach’s SUV, burst into tears as she said her grandson never got a chance to answer theft charges or prove himself a changed person.

(I'm not sure why a changed person would steal someone else's car, but whatever...)
Quote:
The family of the 25-year-old said they were disgusted with the way the media has portrayed Kaluza-Graham, saying their relative was made into a “one-dimensional thief.”
“He had hopes, and dreams,” Ann Kaluza said. She added “he was made into a poster boy for the angst of the community, a sacrificial lamb. That’s not right.”

Think about it. What do we know about Kaluza-Graham, part from him being a thief? I'm not saying he's innocent or anything, but he was still a Human being. It's a shame he turned to a life of crime. It doesn't seem he was in poverty or anything, so I don't know why he did it
