AITA for killing a man?
Okay, I know right off the bat that sounds bad. But here's the thing. I (M31) and my pals (M, F, NB, all adults) were just trying to do our jobs. We're part of a protest group fighting back against the company that's been polluting our small town. And this guy, let's call him A (M32? I think?), worked for that company.
We were just trying to lay out our demands when A calls in security on us and we need to scram.
Thing is there was only one exit, and at the rate we were running, security was gonna catch up to us in no time. So I decided to buy my pals time to get out by running interference. I loaded myself into a cannon and launched myself at A as a distraction.
Turns out this ended up killing him. Now, everyone in my group thinks I'm a hero for saving my pals. But the company's framing me out to be the AH because now A's son is an orphan.
I thought I was acting in self-defense and defense of my comrades, but now I'm not so sure, knowing A was a father. AITA?
