Good point, but the condemned would probably always survive if the executioners put them on a powerboat in the middle of the river and then started throwing rocks.


Was the person killed one of the rock throwers, or was the person killed a bystander?
We need the CBP to be smarter than rock throwers. Which it was in this case.

As for the condemned always surviving, how about this? You sign a waiver and you put yourself in a powerboat in a river and promise not to return fire while I throw rocks at you. Rocks are a near infinite supply. What outcome will it be for you? I hope you have life insurance.

If the person killed was an innocent bystander, then he should have ran in direction that was away from both the rock throwers and the CBP.
