When a man is denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become an outlaw.
— Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom (1994).

— Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom (1994).
We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere.
— Elie Wiesel, Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech (1986)
No there is no middle ground because the wack jobs have moved their side so far from where it should be that ‘middle ground’ is still deep in their fantasy land.
In this case I’m not upset. How many deaths, bankruptcies, and lives ruined are these ghouls responsible for? Save your outrage for them. Just because their crimes are less dramatic doesn’t make them less meaningful
Sometimes the only way to deal with a murderer is to murder the murderer.
In a better society this wouldn’t be the case, but in a society like ours this is the only way someone like a health insurance ceo will see justice for the horrors he inflicts on people.
Ah, yes, pre-meditated murder is ok with you.
Most people are ok with this yes.
Ah, yes, zero consequences for building a business off the suffering and death of hundreds of thousands is ok with you.
Surely, surely there’s a middle ground right?

How many people have insurance executives sent to an early grave?
It wasn’t murder, it was an assassination… Of a leader of a company that has delayed the care of millions for paper power. What is one life to many?
This man is an agent of justice. The murderer is dead.
Like pouring salt on a leech.
That’s not fair to leeches. They’re just trying to survive.
leeches also have a useful medical purpose, which is a pretty major distinction.

Trolly problem. Pre-meditated murder is justified when it stops premeditated murders

In this case I’m ok with it
We aren’t talking about the the deceased, but about the one who killed the murderer who benefited from the suffering of others.
Totally not the same guy
Self defense tbh, but on a societal level
