Seriously, I never would've guessed that my most unpopular opinion on lemmy would be "murdering people vaguely connected to your problem because you're angry is bad".

This wasn't an ideological act or whatever, the assassin's mother was brainwashed and financially ruined her family, he was angry because of that (so because the church caused his mother to ruin the family, it's a personal grudge against the church because it affected him), wanted to kill the head of the church, but couldn't, so 20 years later he settled for Abe since he was accessible and supported the church (as the party did before him).

The assassin could've exposed and drew attention to the church and their connections in various ways, instead he shot an old man at the end of his career. I am all for exposing corruption and malpractices, for taking away influence and power from those who have too much, but arbitrary killing is disgusting. Shall we applaud every broken and desperate murderer if the target they could get their hands on was bad enough by some criteria of the day? I hope this is people just trying to be edgy.
