Trying to take the American perspective:

I suspect that man would have eventually ended up dead anyway to someone legitimately fearing for their life.

There's probably also some calculus of "is society better off without this person?" running through the shooter's head.

Yes, the "he had it coming" "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" argument.

America has this weird contradiction of being a place where anyone can get rich, be great, etc. But on the other hand, a criminal is irredeemable, can't change, will never get better, will get theirs tomorrow if not today.
