Any number of other people could have been caught up in it.

This was not random violence

Pick one.

The lady who was standing right next to him walked away unscathed, without the shooter even looking in her direction. I think it’s pretty clear that only a single person could’ve been caught up in it.

The only way more people would have been caught up in it is if a cop had been standing across the street and just started firing wildly

Hey now, it’s never too late for the cops to start an uncontrolled shootout in their wild goose chase for this guy. Plenty of UPS drivers to kill

Remember when the LAPD was searching for dorner and they shot at completely uninvolved people - twice

We're lucky, really, that no squirrels came out a-knocking acorns off the trees at the same time. It would've been mayhem.

Dude was a good shot. Those bystanders were safe.

Better shot than most cops, tbh.
