Was the guy right to shoot them? for heaven's sake no
Was the couple right for antagonizing and instigating and nagging him? not at all
are certain groups right for calling this "another AR-15 killing" when it clearly was not that? Nope... and before the bodies have cooled off we all get to have another gun control debate.
if you ask me, both parties have a hand in this wrong. and say both could have handled it drastically better is an understatement.
however, things like this have happened forever. people havnt gotten worse, its just the world has gotten smaller and this sort of "bad news" is worldwide overnight

I would ask the question - would this have happened in a society where *everyone* is potentially armed and where civility is more common? Is it true that an armed society is a polite society?
