It's also a stretch to be comparing the two incidents.
One was of a looter acting illegally (not an "innocent" civilian as dragonlich put it) and the other was of a wounded man laying prone in a mosque after being illegally left there for 24 hours by the US troops who injured him. And the reporter present has much to say about what he witnessed go down in regards to how life threatening the situation was to his perspective.
