No doubt at that too. But I was aiming at a security person being nearby, or the food shop this happened nearby. This possible being unreliable if another thing.

If there was really no other choice as i am being made very clear, I of course cannot say anything and would agree.

Also in the example you just did I can say the same, cannot say anything and won't if no other safe option was available.

I can see that completely too. In fact you nailed my problem and that is with the usage of the gun, nothing else.

The prankster did absolutely wrong, I never tried to reduce that. But at the same time, was there really no other way to manage the situation? I want to wish there was, but at the same time also cannot know and very likely wasn't. Still, it won't remove me from being disappointed that it had to end in injury.

And in what backwards world are you living where someone had to risk his life for this. The prankster should be punished for harassment, but doesn't leave the fact that someone SHOT HIM FOR THAT. Nobody should be shot in a situation like this, period.

There are ways to defuse a situation not entirely calmly without firing a gun.

I didn't say it was not criminal, only that it would have had no injuries.

The person who shot did it directly, without actually showing what was he carrying. Just showing the gun would have had a better effect with no injuries and no arrest, and that already is going over the top.

You are an asshole for defending getting hurt for this. I want to assume you would not be so eager to go against the kid if it was your family member.

There was no reason for the person to be shot. Disgusting.
