And there it is- it’s okay with you if innocent people die as long as guilty people also die.

That really doesn’t make you much better than the CEOs who also don’t care if innocent people die.

Innocent people die for no reason under current arrangement everyday.

Best we get is some fake Pearl clutch about how unfortunate it is along with thoughts and prayers bullshit.

But you want people reading this exchange to worry about proverbial innocent person who might die if keep praising the shooter for a job well done?

Again, you clearly don’t understand what this is about or refuse to for whatever reason.

Americans got unified here… Do you wonder what would make normal people feel their way?

“They kill innocent people, so it’s okay if we kill innocent people” is not the moral argument you think it is.

But you want people reading this exchange to worry about proverbial innocent person who might die if keep praising the shooter for a job well done?

Yes. Yes I do. Because I pay attention to what happens when vigilantes find the wrong person.

Something tells me you wouldn’t be so willing to have someone misidentify and then attack or kill you or someone you care about. But it’s okay when it’s an innocent stranger, right?
