"Gunfire killed a man in Charlotte on the second night of protests over the fatal police shooting of a black man"

NYT: A second night of protests sparked by the police killing of a black man spiraled into chaos and violence after nightfall on Wednesday when a demonstration was interrupted by gunfire that killed a man in the crowd and law enforcement authorities fired tear gas in a desperate bid to restore order.
Within an hour, officials used the city’s Twitter account to confirm the death of the unidentified man, which they attributed to a “civilian on civilian” confrontation.

Good old passive voice. 'gunfire' killed a man. well I hope 'gunfire' gets arrested and is given a fair trial.

I'm aware of the Soros funding, but maybe a little unfair to blame him. The community is responsible for what they do together as a group.

Gun fire needs to be put in jail now!

Not all gunfire should be held responsible for the actions of a small minority of gunfire. Most gunfire is hardworking decent explosions. Mostly peaceful gunfire going into targets, or blowing up melons.

Gunfire will be taken care of by some of the best doctors in the world. He will be given a fully modern and updated hospital room. And he'll probably even have room service, knowing the way our country is. And on top of all that, gunfire will be represented by an outstanding lawyer. His case will go through the various court systems for years and, in the end, people will forget and his punishment will not be what it once would have been. What a sad situation. We must have speedy, but fair trials, and we must deliver a just and very harsh punishment to gunfire.

The report turned out to be in error. The person did not die. But was hospitalized.

They should be getting sniped from a high tower or nearby high geography. That's what I'd do. These sub-humans deserve no less. Just sayin'
