My same argument. You can disagree strongly about how the situation
was arrived at and justifiably hold people accountable, but once you
reach the point where an action had to be taken, the action that was
is entirely justified in itself.
I've seen people complain about the number of shots and so on, and I
can only shake my head. People have survived headshots all the time,
so I can appreciate the reaction that the shooters in question had.
If I think a guy might blow me up, and that the only way to stop it is
to make sure he's dead, I'll empty the entire clip and throw the
weapon when it's empty if I think that's needed in order to make sure
he's dead.
