Since When is; "Removing Temptation" a Legal Defense for Anything? [View all]

[JoeOtterbein]

I don't get the Atlanta hate mass-killer using it. So I thought I would try some thought experiments:

When I see a traffic light turn red, I'm tempted to remove it by shooting it? Tempted millions of times? Er....no....never once.

When that tasty dessert in the bakery window, temps me I garnish it by pumping some lead bullets into it to remove the temptation to eat it? Nope!

Then when then the 33 degrees beer in my fridge fills me with overwhelming desire, I take it out back to use as target practice with my neighbors in the yard behind it? Of course not, I invite them over for a few.

The only, safe thought experiment I had was when I actually "fired up" the Indicia tempting me.

The guy killed 8 humans, 75% who where of Asian descent, and the cops say he did it to "remove temptation"?

To blame it on anything else than pure racism, is as evil and insane as it is stupid.
