Who are we to judge on hearsay of what is on a video?

The way thing are told leave as much impression as the words themselves.

The aircraft set off, from a standstill, towards him, and mowed him down head-on. The aircraft passenger is a well-known animal rights activist with a long and repulsive list of convictions.

Was the engine already running? Did it start off on the taxi way? Was the intention to avoid the upcoming fight and take off? How much time elapsed from the moment the gyro started moving till the collision occurred? Did either party take avoidance action? Did the terrain allow for avoiding action?

Or was it how the wording was selected above?

It s a horrible situation but neither the hunter nor the hunted should be convicted at this time
