Hi Humans,
Recently a white human shot and killed a black young human and wounded a number of other humans because the victims were playing loud music in their car in a gas station. The killer claimed he perceived a threat from the victims. But as it turned out the only one with a gun was the killer. The jury could not decide one way or the other on the guilt of premeditated murder in the killing of the dead human but convicted the killer of attempted murder in the shooting of the 3 wounded victims because the killing was done on the spur of the moment and the wounding was done afterward when the argument of feeling threatened was too great of a stretch even in "stand your ground" Florida. The gun man was morally guilty of second degree murder if not premeditated and at least will be put in jail for many years (likely the rest of his life) for the attempted murders. So he will be punished and will be an example to other humans who think they can carry guns and act above the law (even in Florida). However, although only the gun man himself has been found guilty by law, morally he is not the only guilty one. The moral guilt belongs as well to the NRA and other gun bullies who promote a culture of addiction to guns.
