Fediverse vs Disinformation
Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.
Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

I thought this too. Like he points the gun at the guy but "I don't know how to use this" and "I don't know if I should use this" are clearly going through his mind ALL WHILE THE OTHER SHOOTER SHOOTS HIM TWICE (In the hand and the shoulder.)
Overall I think it's better that he didn't shoot him, in terms of "morals" or whatever, you got the gun off him, and thats all you were there to do. He was clearly fleeing after the incident, even though the shooter is an evil man, in that moment, he was unnarmed, pointing the gun at him was all that was needed.
