Part of the 'Code of the West' was that you didn't shoot a man in the back,

much less an unarmed man,
much less shooting an unarmed man in the back multiple times, who was already lying on the ground---


Those who did such would have been immediately judged as "cowards and murderers"
and would have been in great danger of 'summary justice' from a lynch mob----


Just sayin'.....
