Thank you for the song.

It's easy to believe the people who sneeringly say that singing songs of protest never changed anything. If that was so, the brutes wouldn't bother to suppress it. Keep singing.

Perhaps in this case, the young man who pulled the trigger had no understanding and no choice; more shame on the brutes who put him in that position.
