The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

The irony is that this guy probably can't help his behavior and didn't come to that action by rational choice.

So while he literally can't help lashing out in the face of intrusive thoughts, you by choice support violence for nonsensical reasons.

It's like looking at someone in a wheelchair and commenting that they are completely right in that it's only fair not to walk to protest the patriarchy or some other BS.

A bit ableist and unsympathetic of you towards the guy effectively unable to prevent throwing his life away due to disabled impulse control.

Yeah, nah.

This is more a case of celebrating the stopped clock being right. It doesn’t matter if it was a conscious choice or not, it was still the right time.
