    Suppose a cop tripped over a students water bottle, hit his head on the ground and died. Did the student murder that cop?

      Sure, if the student intended to harm the cop, and slipped it directly under his foot when he went to step. That would be a fair equivalent, and I would say yeah, the student is in the wrong.

      You can’t throw something intended to harm others, and then cry fowl. The cop is the reason that students hand is gone. No clue why you would say otherwise, except tovictim blame.

        if the student intended

        Its interesting you consider the students intention.

        What do you suppose was the cop’s intention?
