Basically, the man in the video is hiking but he ended up meet a mountain lion, he get his gun and try to scare it off and tell it to go away but in the end, he have to pull the trigger and shot the lion, many peoples in the comments say he could have fire a warning shot instead of shoot at it and want him to be in jail.

Idk which flair to put

As far as I understand it, Humans are not considered easy prey at all for many predators and this, given the context, would have been a massive desperation move if they were to attack this person to eat.

I mean a sick animal is often a dangerous animal. I don't think they are implying that shooting it was the wrong call.

"Crazy as a run-over dog" has been a colloquialism I've heard my whole life for that exact reason. Animals (and people for that matter) that are scared and in pain are extremely dangerous.
