He fired a warning shot at a guy with a flamethrower. Still pretty reckless given the crowd, but to present this without that context gives an inaccurate impression of what happened.

That he recklessly pointed his gun in the direction of a group of people and pulled the trigger?

Flamethrower guy or not that's literally all you need to know.


No, I do think it's important that the context is given.

I am fine with the consensus that they were both equally dangerous by using weapons in a crowd like this. What I don't agree with is giving the flamethrower guy a pass of some sort, that was most definitely as potentially dangerous as what the gun guy did.

The context isn't important because it has zero relevance in relation to the legality of what he did.

No one is goving flamethrower guy a pass and if anything they should probably be charged to.


Actually I do think it would be relevant in a court case, like the guy's defense attorney could use it as mitigating factors to get a charged reduced from say attempted murder down to something far less serious via the self defense argument. Let's see what he ends up being charged with.
