“There is no way you can prove that you know what I am thinking as I write this response.”
Certainly true.
However, the left treats homicide as though it were simply a random natural event, with no one really responsible. It “just happened”. The gun “went off”.
In reality the intent of the shooter makes an enormous difference.
Generally, I think it's safe to assume that if a person goes into an establishment, and fires off muliple rounds at people, the intent was to kill as many peoplel as he had rounds. Whether he hit everyone or not, really is more of his testament of his skill, not his intent. He should be charged and treated for his actions, because you cannot prove his intent.
By firing at people, he is charged with 'x' charges of Attempted Murder. If the victims die, then it's Murder. If his "intent" was to simply scare and intimidate, I do not care. It's his actions that matter. I can prove actions, I cannot prove intent.
