Do you choose your flaccid attempts at arguments by throwing darts at a board or something? What do you think I've said in the past, I'd be real curious if you keep some shrine with quotes from my PARD history or else I'd figure you're just making shit up. Every terror attack, every assassination attempt or cause celebre BLM moment I'm the guy who says lets get some facts and wait and see what the circumstances or motives are, then be both rational and decisive in our conclusions. I can tell the difference between a George Floyd and a Myon Burrell and an Amir Locke, can you?

And do you seriously need the infantile explanation of how in a civil society we exercise the power of law to incarcerate or destroy people only under a social contract that respects the civil liberties and right to a fair trial of the accused and the democratically governed sovereignty of nations on a world stage, or shall I read you the magna carta?

JUST IN: The person of interest in the UnitedHealthcare CEO execution has been ID'd as Luigi Mangione, a former Ivy League student and activist.

Mangione is described as a "tech whiz" and was a former valedictorian.

Mangione is an anti-capitalist 26-year-old who shared quotes online from "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski.

"Imagine a society that subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy then gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness," a Kaczynski quote liked by Mangione read.

"Science fiction It is already happening to some extent in our own society. Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed modern society gives them antidepressant drugs."

"In effect, antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual’s internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable."

Mangione studied at the University of Pennsylvania. He was valedictorian of his 2016 graduating class at the Gilman School in Baltimore, according to the New York Post.

Is this the guy? Dude is an absolute Chad that graduated from UPenn. Unbelievable that someone good looking and well setup for life would throw it all away for something so dumb.

This tracks since I also thought Ted was right about everything except his methods and targets.

lol. This is what happens when you teach anti-social nuttery in institutions of higher learning. Once in a while it sticks and you produce an anti-social nutcase. Shocking.

Or maybe some people just disagree with you on how society should regulate itself.
It is a shame that someone had to die for change to happen but this event has already had great results for society, look at the changes anthem just made to their completely morally bankrupt plans.

And Hitler attacking the rest of Europe led to American military hegemony, massively increasing the standard of living of basically everyone in the world. That doesn't make Hitler a good guy. You're not a hero if something good happens after you do something terrible. You're still garbage.

Basically everyone disagrees with me on how society should regulate itself. That's fine. You're entitled to your ignoble opinions. I'm gonna point out how gross they are when I see them though, that's me disagreeing with you on how society should regulate itself.

You think that corporations should be able to murder people for a quarterly bonus or shareholder profits..
Do not speak to me from a position of moral superiority, you are fine with deaths as long as they are caused by cancer..
And by cancer I mean your shitty parasitical insurance system.

I'm not fine with that at all. I'm also not fine with lunatics murdering people because they don't like the system. It's not a difficult combination of beliefs to hold, it's the most reasonable and I believe it is the most common combination in this case.

If you don't like how something works and you think assassination is the answer, you are the bigger problem.
