My personal opinion is that it really shouldn't matter, a person firing a weapon in a crowded space is intending to take a life the moment he pulls that trigger, no matter who gets hit. The Supreme Court appears to feel differantly though |
The Supreme Court only feels differently in select circumstances. As with anything like this you can't look at it as a black and white issue.
