I think when someone is shooting AT YOU instead of at themselves, it's completely different. If someone is determined to kill them self, they're probably going to get it done. That's a tragedy. But when someone chooses to kill an innocent person, that's a crime and is reprehensible. So, yeah, I look at them differently.
