    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.
