    Yeah but they were aiming at the bad guy with a gun and they did hit him apparently thus stopping him from shooting a bunch of other people. Like it’s horrible this other guy got shot but the alternative seems to have been a lot of people being shot. I guess I’m just not seeing your point here because it seems like you’re saying it would have been better for the guy to commit a mass shooting and kill a bunch of those protesters.

      This assumes they couldn’t have prepared something less liable to cause collateral damage. It’s not like it’s just some random person who happened to have a gun on them, this was apparently a person or persons who specifically came to this event to prevent this sort of thing. And all they seemed to bring was something with a high likelihood of collateral damage.
