    I’m celebrating the burgeoning class consciousness it has awoken in the right.

    It was beautiful to see Ben Shapiro eaten alive by his own followers over the rich vs. poor divide here.

    I hope this trend continues, even though I know how unrealistic that is.

    Exposure to violence is bad. Fostering a society where violence is commonplace, bad. Exporting violence to places and people unseen, all bad.

    but I’m not really sure that illegal or extra-judicial killings are always wrong. Sometimes evil people are protected or above the law. If a Russian citizen shot Vladimir Putin dead tomorrow, I’d be happy with it. I’d be happy to see a sandy hook parent kill Alex Jones, if they could do it without consequence.

    It’s not that I believe that murder should be legal, Nor do I believe in capital punishment. Institutional violence is bad for the reasons I listed earlier. But, a lone gunman shooting an evil man is not institutionalized violence.

      Not really, the guy could have died from any cause and I would still be happy about it. In fact, if he got sick and died from a tropical fungus I would be much happier.

    Is it legally wrong? Yes. Should it be legally persecuted? Absolutely. Is it, in this specific instance, morally justifiable or even admirable? I would say you could definitely argue that.

    I’m not familiar enough with the dead guy to judge, but from what I have heard I’m leaning towards “yes and yes”.
