That doesn't change the fact that you would still be responsible for the pedestrian's death. The criminal is to blame for trying to kill you (attempted murder on you, manslaughter on the person he ran over) but you are also responsible for the person he killed. (Criminally negligent homicide, particularly given the fact that you aren't acting in any official peacekeeping capacity.)
Spider-Man is still at fault here. Maybe not to the degree that Otto is, but in a more real world situation it'd be hard to imagine he wouldn't see at least a little jail time. (Or possibly a suspended sentence.)
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
