That is indeed a frightful question...but who has the right to take anothers life? Does the boy have the choice? Very good picture, a little creepy but very thought provoking...now where's Mr. Viking, Deviant Viking to save the day? Oh yeah he's drinking his chocolate milk that's been shaken not stired

I think it will be controversial a lot, anyway one of the best I've seen from you here (picture+text).
My opinion is that a killer doesn't ask himself a question like that. Better to kill a witness, and little children tend to revenge when they become adults.

The picture is very well made, only the gun looks a little strange (not the way you have painted it, the model itself is strange for me , particularly the extractor.)
If I were you I would have added a couple of cartdrige-cases on the floor)

Maybe it's a killer with conscious. Or maybe it's a thug who got a job to do, where the child wasn't part of it?
As for the gun.. it's the best I currently got. I'd like a better one, but haven't been able to find any yet

Mayhap I'll try and add some bullet-cases on the floor.. if I can figure out where'd they'd look convincing

Maybe the kid could be holding an ice cream cone too? (just a passing thought)

Hmm, it just doesn't seem to fit the pic though

I agree with Ozzie! It is a thought provoking work and also is a great image!
