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. Don't you?
