I love the “arbitrarily redefine what a civilian is” method of handwaving away a murder. It really shows that deep down, you would have an excuse to kill anyone.
Exit: Downvote me all you want. If openly celebrating murder is how the left operates now, the left is even more doomed than I realized.
“those who make monopolistic fortunes off the sick while also dictating refusal of care to the sick” is hardly arbitrary, though, is it. It’s quite a high bar to clear, that. It’s rational too, since they do many orders of magnitude more harm than e.g. a death row inmate, whom society is content to destroy.
I never said the system was justified. You can’t both-sides this.
This man isn’t the system, and he was murdered. That’s why it was murder. Like our healthcare system, it was unjust. I’m not celebrating injustice, no matter who it’s visited upon.
It should go without saying that such violence is not good and not supportable.
I am not celebrating. It’s a tragedy, even if a predictable one. We’ll all do better with a little more cooperation and a lot less greed.
I don’t like it when people die, or get maimed.
If I say that I can understand how something like this happens, it’s not out of sympathy for the murderer. It’s just an accounting of facts amidst the fact that billions of people exist so obviously someone is going to be willing to kill for their perceived injustices. Especially when injustices are a lot more concrete than abstract.
