The object of the act is a matter of fact, not opinion.This level puller doesnt consider the act to be actively killing someone.
Does pulling the lever (trigger) direct a lethal projectile at an innocent person? Yes.
Does the actor foresee the proximate end, ie., that the trolley (bullet) will kill the innocent person? Yes.
Did the bystander's act of pulling the lever directly kill an innocent person? Yes.
The innocent person is in no peril in the situation before the bystander acts.The deadly peril is already built into the situation before it got to you.
I would place all blame for fatal outcomes on the trolley operator, or whoever let the thing loose.
There is no trolley operator in the case. Whoever let the trolley "loose" did not foresee the death of any innocent persons so no blame can be assigned to him.
