    The “discharge was directed towards a perceived threat,” described by the police statement as Palestinian individuals throwing rocks along a highway.

    I have seen the aftermath of rocks being thrown on passing cars. If this 17-year-old did that, then he was not a civilian shot at random.

      So your response to teenagers throwing rocks is to gun them all down?

        There was no resistance at My Lai. It was an unprovoked massacre.

        This situation couldn’t be any more different. Responding to an attack, even with potentially disproportionate force, is in no way comparable to raping and gunning down hundreds of civilians. I think you know that.
