    I don’t understand this logic. IDF literally shooting someone is somehow less of a “use of a deadly weapon in a manner that can cause death” than throwing a stone at a car?

    I get that they deemed the person dangerous, but shooting someone for throwing a stone is a slippery slope to all sorts of things, eg. Kettled protesters who start throwing stones at riot police. Should the police just mow them all down because rocks can be deadly?

      Why do you keep using arguments where stones are being thrown at police/army? These stones were being thrown at unarmed, unprotected humans.

        Stop being disingenuous. The rocks were thrown at cars. They weren’t interrupting a public stoning.

          Do you know how many people died from rocks thrown at cars? I’m not talking hypotheticals, I’m talking real deaths and injuries.

            Do you? I’d wager it’s considerably lower than deaths from shootings involving figures of authority.
