Default Expensive Goose Hunt
Moral of the story is to be sure what you are shooting at, before taking the shot.

How do you mistake a man for a goose? Was the guy flying through the air? Anyone that stupid deserves to pay.

From the blind victim's perspective, why is anyone upset of the guilty party having to pay?

So the Insurance does or does not pay, that is not going to make a difference for a near retirement person who will now have to adjust to a life of blindness.

Yessir, really feel for the victim here. I'd have a dang tough time not being bitter at some idiot costing me my eyesight & my health

Chances are the shooter doesn’t have the money that the victim is suing for
If it wasn’t a criminal act, his insurance would probably be forced to pay the $2m that he has coverage for
