Legally, when we talk about "innocent" victims, it typically refers to whether those people were engaged in a crime at the time of the shooting. Every single one of the people at that gathering MAY have committed a crime in their past, but at the time of the shooting, they were just exercising their right to assemble peacefully. The fact that this kid shot them during this gathering is not justified legally in any way. If any of them had been engaged in a crime at the time of the shooting, this would be an entirely different discussion. For some here, the act of being a politician is a crime against humanity. That is the root of the disagreement. Unfortunately for their argument, there is no law on the books that says it is a crime to engage in politics.
Certainly, but he was making a specific theological argument, not a criminal law argument.
