Of all the issues we’re facing right now, this is one of the most clear-cut: he’s a murderer, and he will be convicted as one. There’s no room for ifs or buts. Even if one believes his motives were pure, there should be no doubt that this is not how political issues are solved. Violence has never been, nor should it ever be, the answer.
A world where political disagreements are resolved through assassinations is not one anyone wants to live in. It’s dangerously naive to think future acts of violence like this will only target people you consider villains. No, they’ll eventually target your heroes too - because your heroes are someone else’s villains.
Trump is guilty of a whole laundry list of crimes, some actually worse than murder. There was plenty of room for ifs or buts, and his motives weren't pure at all.
Selective justice isn't justice. American oligarchs are not subject to the law, so they should also not be protected by it. That's what it means to be an outlaw.
He is indeed a murder, but he hasn't been treated like one. Most murders get a brief investigation or a few dedicated officers - this murderer received millions of dollars in police time to track them down. Most murderers receive minimal press coverage (i.e. the mass shooting shortly after this killing) this murder's trial will be publicized and politicized, he will be "made an example of" because someone committed economic vigilantism and that is unacceptable to our wealthy class.
Murder is a bad and I'd much prefer peaceful means. But we are where we are and it's going to be a fucking circus.
If only all of human history didn’t disagree with you.
