As soon as the young man opened fire, he became a dangerous criminal, whether it was intentional or not.
Then a dangerous criminal, endangering the lives of others, was the one who was "killed", not a dumb kid. I don't care how old you were, what religion you were, what your goals in life are, what you support and who you believed in politically, when you point a life-ending device at me, you're a dangerous criminal. You're not a "little old man" or a "dumb kid."

EDIT: Will/vanblah does this describe your feelings?

i dont like the discussion and i would rather read something about how people are nonviolently changing what happens in the world, rather than coming up with the best ways to kill someone if they need to
I asked a very intelligent liberal lady what she thought of what I'd written, and that was her response. I wasn't sure how what I wrote was being perceived. I tend to think that maybe you agree with me in principle if that's what the world were really like, but would rather see the above happening instead.
