While the scalise situation might fit the definition of 2a objectively, i would say it doesnt fit the subjective philosophy of virtue.
2a ensures the door of virtue stays open against a cruel/tyrannical government.
and if the shooter told us that he was a hero had he lived, i think he would know he was telling a lie.
because he was probably looking for someone to blame for having nothing to lose.
a hero doesnt lose their job drown their sorrows at the bar get fat and blame a politician who has slim to none on the outcome of their life.
So here his larger intent sets the Rubicon? I can square that, I suppose.
