I agree with you on that as well. They do have a level of social responsibility above that of most that they betrayed. The gun imagery was tasteless and out of line, but at the same time within their rights to express. They shouldn't feel good about what they did, but hindsight is 20/20. Had they known that this woman was going to be shot they would not have done it. I don't feel as though any outrage should be directed at them just because of the shooting. Outrage on the grounds of it being tasteless in the first place is one thing, but retroactive anger is illogical.
