1. Not sure I'm into defending "democracy" by killing those we don't agree with. Apparently, some feel differently.

6. What ever ails us is we ain't shooting our way out of it.

2. No, but that may not have prevented WWII and the Holocaust.

Imagine baby Hitler is killed by a time traveler, who then returns to the present and discovers that much of the world is now controlled by Nazis because instead of Hitler the National Socialists chose a more sane and competent leader who enables the Nazis to defeat the Allies, win World War II and wipe out the Jewish people.

Careful what you wish for.

3. There's a large difference

between "shedding tears" over a death and outright celebrating it. It's not a binary choice.

4. Way back when JFK was assinated

I recall Malcom X talking about chickens coming home to roost.

5. I do not want this nation to literally descend into the kind of violent chaos

that unravels into a wide scale civil war where hundreds of thousands or more can perish. Political violence can quickly spiral beyond all control. We still have means far short of targeted assassinations in order to combat the slide into fascism which threatens America today. Once death squads and worse roam freely, the amount of suffering on all sides that would follow would be off the charts and almost impossible to end, without seas of bloodshed ensuing. I can not justify any action that threatens to plunge this nation into that type of living hell.

At some point we may have little choice. At this point we still do.

7. By that estimation all RW influencers should suffer the same fate.
