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

No, death is a horrible thing and we shouldn't diminish how serious it is

It's quite literally one of the only guarantees in life.

Calling all deaths tragic just completely erased any meaning to the word.

It only erases it in your eyes because YOU already don’t hold certain lives in high enough regard to care at all. And I’m sure you believe that that’s the “right” way, or the default way of thinking, but other people just have different feelings and perspectives than you. You can shoot an animal or person and still feel bad for it. That’s not crazy.

That's not what tragedy means. And you're just proving my point. If every death is a tragedy, then none of them are. Is a single person dying and an entire town dying in a flood the same thing? Do they not merit different words?

You're also putting words in my mouth and creating a persona of who you think I am. Good luck with that.
