Being attacked is "without justification"? Thank God you aren't a lawyer...

What's important is that my God cared about him.

Not enough to keep him from initiating the events that ended his life apparently.

" Being attacked is "without justification"?"

The driver was not attacked. An egg was thrown at his vehicle and that act does not justify murder, the application of deadly force, or a beating.

God does not control anyone and tossing an egg at a vehicle doesn't justify murder.
