resort to a lethal weapon and play judge, jury, jesus, and executioneer.

I guarantee that most of the gungeoneers, and probably all right wing bigoted gun toters, would have shot that guy in a second without any remorse. They'd cite their lethal weapons instructor/guru (probably NRA certified) who convinced them that a shot center mass is the only way to respond to a situation, either with the gun tucked down their pants or the spare some carry strapped to their ankle.
