Using a deadly weapon in a manner that can cause death is much worse than possessing a deadly weapon. You think people in cars haven't died from stone throwers before?

I don't understand this logic. IDF literally shooting someone is somehow less of a "use of a deadly weapon in a manner that can cause death" than throwing a stone at a car?

I get that they deemed the person dangerous, but shooting someone for throwing a stone is a slippery slope to all sorts of things, eg. Kettled protesters who start throwing stones at riot police. Should the police just mow them all down because rocks can be deadly?
