There is a Saying about Vengeance and Two Graves

They went searching for vengeance, but targeted the wrong person. SFPD: 2 people dead in Thursday shooting

There was some altercation. They wanted revenge, but they identified the wrong people. They went after those wrongly identified people with baseball bats.

According to police, the 23-year-old man was “jumped” by people earlier in the night and thought the people responsible were a group of motorcyclists at a gas station. [SNIP]

According to police the three had bats and confronted a group of people with motorcycles. The 23-year-old man swung a bat at a 26-year-old.

The 26-year-old shot the 23-year-old with a gun and the 44-year-old, who also was swinging a bat at him, according to police. Clemens said the 42-year-old woman pointed a gun at the 26-year-old and he shot her as well.

All over a mistaken identity. The two guys who were shot did not survive. The woman who was shot was taken to a local hospital and then arrested.

How do you characterize this, aside from the complete breakdown of civilization? And I would like the gun-hating part of the Left to explain to me how this situation would have been better without a firearm in the hands of the law-abiding citizen. I would like them to (try to) explain their position, but I don't expect them to do so. This is the 21st Century. It is all about feelings.
