I don’t see why any of those should be exonerating?

Also, I feel like “nothing wrong if it does happen” regarding shooting someone, is the wrong perspective. If shooting someone is necessary, then it is necessary, but that doesn’t mean nothing went wrong. Anytime someone gets shot is a time something has gone wrong.

So if someone threatens to kill you and your family, and you shoot them, something has gone wrong? I'd say something has gone right.

There are many situations where that isn’t the right response to that.

Yes, something has gone wrong: someone threatened to kill me and my family, and apparently the only way to stop them from doing so was to kill them. That may be the best option available, but it is still a tragedy.
