They knew when they scheduled the event such a death could occur. Why be so distraught now, when the blood is on their hands, and not taken the wiser course when they had the opportunity?

If this is as it is in Pamplona, a prelude to the ritualistic killing of the beasts in the ring, why deny the bulls the opportunity to take out some of their tormenters, or at least those who willfully -- gleefully watch and cheer.
