Let nobody who posted against the extrajudicial killing of 11 Venezuelans on the boat

[Bernardo de La Paz]

Let nobody who posted against the extrajudicial killing of 11 Venezuelans on the boat be ones to post anything excusing the extrajudicial killing of Charlie Kirk. Let alone the posts celebrating.

1. Two different things.

The first was carried out by the US military under the full weight and authority of the Office of the President. The second appears to have been by a lone individual and we don’t have any motive yet. But you know that already. What is your true purpose in making yet another member scolding post about today’s incident?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Let none be above rational criticism. There was no emotion here until you introduced it, calling it "scolding".

"true purpose"? Get real. My true purpose is exactly as stated in the OP.

Being a "lone individual" does not make it a cause for celebration or something to be excused.

[bluesbassman]

22. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

I found your entire OP a scold. No emotion on my part, just an observation. YMMV.

3. Otherwise, the taste of mustard changes.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. Your post is meaningless and unrelated to this thread. . . . . nt

[Torchlight]

6. Assertions about visceral opnions are meaningless

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Nope. Context free assertions about the taste of mustard with no reference to the cases, now that's meaningless.

5. I'm all for not celebrating...

But why spend energy defending and martyr him?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. You have zero basis to call the OP "defending and martyr him". It is not. I am not. He is not defensible or a martyr. nt

7. Did you post about the extrajudicial killing of 11 Venezuelans on the boat?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

9. Yes. I posted against it. I called it extrajudicial before I saw any use of that term about it in media or on DU. . .nt

[W_HAMILTON]

19. Happen to have a link? I would use the DU search feature but it ... doesn't work so well for me, heh.

10. No celebration required.

He’s gone, big whoop, I don’t have to care. And this isn’t remotely the same as the boat incident, which was an action undertaken by our government.

12. Priggish Nonsense

Kirk was an enemy to everything good.
Evil needs to be expunged.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

13. Do you decide, as you decided (post facto) in the case of Charlie Kirk? Do you decide against Mangione's victim?

Luigi Mangione thought his victim was "an enemy to everything good, and evil needed to be expunged". So he committed an extra-judicial murder using your justification.

Is it priggish to be disgusted at murder outside of the law be it on the streets of New York or at a University in Colorado? No.

[highplainsdem]

14. Not by illegal shootings. Believing that justifies rightwingers killing liberals they believe are evil. And

there are a lot of rightwingers who believe a lot of liberals are evil.

[Calculating]

21. Not by political assassination

That goes against everything our country is for

[Brainfodder]

15. Just did a fresh rip in his honor and read that twice, still confused.

But I think I get ya, that boat, didn't believe his BS, so fully understand the skeptic and WAR CRIMEY adjacent grey area of a concept of wiggle room for evil people?

[sarisataka]

16. IMHO i would say a better analogy

Is those who posted against the murder of the Minnesota lawmakers.
To oppose that but in any way justify or excuse this murder is is hypocritical.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Yes. Both were politically motivated (not confirmed) murders. The Minnesota killer thought he was expunging evil. . nt
