That comparison is a bit simplistic though... since (unless I am reading this wrong) I believe the "leg" incident was not the direct cause of the attack, but something that adds on to their irritation. Sort of like piling feathers onto a camel's back.
To expand on your comparison, the bus driver might have more justification (but not necessarily legal of course) to shoot that TOW missile if you had in addition,
Stormed his apartment, kicked out the oppressive landlord and imposed your own rules despite knowing virtually the whole apartment doesn't like you and that the Mayor did not approve this, imposed house arrest or detain some of his neighbours, made him lose his previous job, etc... then the comparison would fit better, although it is still simplistic in my opinion.
