I understand what you're saying and I got the same thing myself, BUT... I would not want this to be viewed in any way as implying that the young man brought this on himself. This is not blaming the victim, which I have seen people do that sometimes. I find it abhorrent.

The man who shot him had choices to make and he made really bad choices. The responsibility for the action is on him.
