@Rosskles You don't need an expert writing in a newspaper to understand proper gun use. You stop firing when the threat is no longer there. But then the question is what is the threat. In that split second, you can't tell who is surrendering and who is fake surrendering. If you assume the worst, that the thing is a trap and the guys on the ground have hidden grenades/pistols, then everyone gets sprayed. Once a few seconds elapse, and it becomes clear if anyone is fighting back, then you stop firing and collect your senses.

Unfortunately, if you assume the worst, that the thing was a trap, and everyone lying on the ground will spring forth with pistols and grenades, then everyone becomes a threat and you spray your gun wildly.

@jaypolas4136 Pistol gunshot to the head? No, the very last guy came out and started firing, thereby invalidating the entire surrender, and getting his buddies sprayed by counter fire. Stop making up stuff.

@thebiggamers999 It's a war zone. Everybody is armed. If you are ambushed by someone who pretends to surrender, can you actually keep your calm, or would you treat every Russian as a threat? Making the wrong decision will end your life. Making the wrong decision can also end someone else's life. Do you understand how difficult these situations are?

@realnapster1522 Is it a war crime? The last Russian fired first. And then all the Russians got sprayed.

@shawne02 Shot in the back of the head? No, the last Russian to emerge fired first, and then all the other Russians died under the return fire. Do I need to dig up a link to the video footage for you to see?

@thebiggamers999 Is it a war crime? The rule of gun use, in peace or war, dictates that a defender has the right to defend himself against all threats. Given that the Russians on the ground were not disarmed, they can still be considered threats. Now if the Russians aren't firing back after a time, then you know they are no longer a threat, but we can't determine this because no video footage exists showing the immediate seconds after the pretend-surrendering Russians opens fire.

Unfortunately, if you see one guy fake surrendering, then you might assume the entire thing is a trap, and start spraying everyone in sight. It would not be a war crime for Ukrainians to start shooting if they felt the situation was a trap.

@Len-jk4zi Christianity has everything to do with love. Christianity planted the seed that destroyed slavery. Love thy neighbor brings up uncomfortable questions when the neighbor is a slave.

@Len-jk4zi Christianity had nothing to do with the abolition of slavery? Go tell that to the abolitionists, who were regarded as the wild eyed religious extremists of their time. You should also note that during the Civil War, Lincoln instituted Thanksgiving to give thanks to God. Do you celebrate Thanksgiving? You should thank Lincoln's Christianity for creating such holiday.
