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.

Assertions about visceral opnions are meaningless Torchlight Sep 2025 #6

Nope. Context free assertions about the taste of mustard with no reference to the cases, now that's meaningless. Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2025 #11

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 Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2025 #8

Did you post about the extrajudicial killing of 11 Venezuelans on the boat? W_HAMILTON Sep 2025 #7

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 Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2025 #9

Happen to have a link? I would use the DU search feature but it ... doesn't work so well for me, heh. W_HAMILTON Sep 2025 #19

Not by illegal shootings. Believing that justifies rightwingers killing liberals they believe are evil. And highplainsdem Sep 2025 #14

Not by political assassination Calculating Sep 2025 #21

Yes. Both were politically motivated (not confirmed) murders. The Minnesota killer thought he was expunging evil. . nt Bernardo de La Paz Sep 2025 #17
