I wonder why this is only manslaughter. It seems like a lynching. It's not like they accidentally shot them. Or were defending themselves.

I speculate that it is because they were not targeting any particular individual, just firing shots indiscriminately where they thought the migrants were hiding.

Edit: Hey! I did not charge the people with manslaughter, the DA did. I am just putting forth a possible reason why, in answer to the question.

Maybe, but if someone did that in a mall, or a school, or a parade, do you think it would still be manslaughter?

Because they’re part of the just us system.
