noboby is responsible or should be held
responsible for this. very stylish
He didn't say that. He said very clearly that the blood is on the hands of
the suicide bombers (and I'll add - on the hands of their backers and
trainers).
I don't think that there is much doubt that if the bombings had not taken
place then this shooting would not have taken place.
It might also be argued that those who you wish to hold as being
"responsible" perhaps had the "responsibility" to open fire in those
circumstances however tragic and however mistaken the action turned out to
be (with your PhD in hindsight). What would you be saying right now if it
had turned out that he WAS in fact a suicide bomber and he had detonated a
device and later you found out that the police COULD have stopped him.
You also use the term "murder" in a highly emotive way, I suspect
deliberately. Murder is a legal term and it is far from clear that this
victim was murdered. He was shot and killed in appalling circumstances in an
appalling situation and at a time of massive tensions- ALL of which are the
direct responsibility (and intentions) of the bombers themselves.
