In "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," Jim is falsely accused of shooting Boggs, but the actual person who shot him was Colonel Sherburn. Boggs was a drunk man who challenged Colonel Sherburn, resulting in his fatal shooting.
Sherburn shoots and kills Boggs, a drunkard who threatens violence towards him. Sherburn's actions serve as a warning to the townspeople about the consequences of acting out violently.
Boggs, being drunk, decides to threaten Colonel Sherburn and says he's going to kill him. Boggs has been doing this for many years; always threatening different people but never actually killing them. Colonel Sherburn then warns/threatens Boggs that if he doesn't stop, he'll shoot him. And he didn't stop; it got serious, then he shot him.
In Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," the incident occurs when Colonel Sherburn shoots and kills a drunk man, Boggs, who threatens him in the town square. Sherburn then proceeds to confront the angry mob that forms, delivering a speech that criticizes their cowardice and proceeds to shame them for their behavior. The mob ultimately disperses without taking any action against Sherburn.
Colonel Sherburn views the average man as cowardly and lacking in moral courage. He believes that most people are quick to judge others but are unwilling to stand up for what they believe in themselves. Sherburn values integrity and courage, qualities he feels are often lacking in the average man.
