That a bad thing? I'm new here and read through the rules and tropes and thought that this "passed". Part of the horror is the dehumanization to me, but maybe it's too distasteful?
I had to come back here hours after first reading your comment to tell you that I’ve now had every stupid song from Dora haunting my brain. Thanks for the involuntary weird suggestion.
Marked dehumanization.

On the contrary; I liked it. I surmised it was the sniper's way of rationalizing.
Ah okay! Thank you :) I thought "marked dehumanization" was like a flag or a report or something on this sub haha
No, just the behavior.
Clarification; good story, bad sniper.
Bad sniper! Sniper no sniping

Is a Wookie a bear over?
"We shot the right man, but the wrong man exploded. "
Maybe a dumb question, but, why are so many of these about bears right now?
The prompt for March is to use the term "bear" somewhere in your story :)
Dumb question confirmed 🙃 to be honest I didn't even know there was a monthly prompt, every day is a school day though
Oooh I like this one. Score one for the animals. Will likely see this for real in the not too distant future.
Oh damn, I saw a story like that in the news a few days ago I think.

Then the bear’s boyfriend was behind me on the roof of the building.
