    Well then define non-combatants. The person he shot was at fault for hundreds if not thousands of deaths. Saying he didn’t personally do them would be like saying a general is not responsible for their troops actions.

      Well then define non-combatants.

      “a person who is not engaged in fighting during a war, especially a civilian, chaplain, or medical practitioner.”

      Sure he was responsible for deaths due to denying health coverage. But he’s still a civilian.

        So it was a civilian on civilian kill. Not a militant group/gang/mercenary.

        If the “battle” was pertaining to healthcare denials, he was currently battling and his group took up battle after he was gone.
