    I believe the state is too biased and fallible to be entrusted with the death penalty.

    As regards the murder of heathcare CEOs I believe the JFK quote “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable” describes the situation. While I don’t condone the action, I can understand the motivation. The US is continuing on a path where elected representatives ignore the will of the people in favor of the profit motives of corporations. As long as the country is not responsive to the actual harm people are experiencing we will continue to see violence. The only reason UHC CEO’s murder moved the needle is because the ruling class realizes its vulnerability. Many people of color are murdered by police violence on the regular with hardly a mention in the collective consciousness.

      I don’t condone the action

      Jesus Christ, you did that whole little dog and pony show just to bust that out in the finale?

      Come on, bud. It could not be more clear that I was talking specifically about the people condoning it, and encouraging copycats to re-enact it. I’m asking them to justify to me why they feel that behaviour is good and beneficial.

      And now here you are, essentially just regurgitating my own stance back to me.

      What a disappointment.

        You’re just not very smart are you. The whole point here was me using the same idiotic trolling tactics back on you. A few times there it looked like you got the point but clearly that’s not going to happen.

        To paraphrase Mark Twain, you’ve dragged me down to your level and beat me with experience.
