"I condemn his recklessly sending rounds across the street into a house where innocents could have been hurt or killed...."

I don't. The homeowner did nothing wrong. He was attacked and defended himself. The gangster is 100% responsible for any stray rounds or resulting casualties.

I refuse to blame the innocent for the crimes of the guilty. Nor, do I believe in "apportioning" fault when one man is clearly an aggressive criminal and the other is merely defending himself. The criminal is 100% responsible. We really should not forget that.
