What did Brian Thompson do/fail to do that makes this statistic his fault, and for death to be the morally justified consequence?
Edit: I'll reframe this as a statement. Celebrating the murder of Brian Thompson and especially advocating for more acts like it is abhorrent behaviour.
Yes. We are advocating for more acts. Because their acts have not changed. That's how cause and effect works.
And advocating for an increase in morally unjust acts is abhorrent behaviour.
Argh, can't downvote this one because the statement is true even though it doesn't apply to the situation being discussed.
Why not? Context matters. If I just replied to you with "Ten is less than twenty", you should be downvoting it, truth or not!
Of course it does.
