  • Yeah.

    Honestly I see Brian Thompson as way worse than this hypothetical drug dealer.

    Obviously, the drug dealer is bad: he’s effectively killed people by selling fentanylaced drugs (presumably without telling his buyers what they were actually buying). But Brian has effectively killed thousands.

    In both cases I have sympathy for the kids. In the drug dealers case, I might not be crying my eyes out about the death; but I still wish some form of non-lethal recourse had been taken. This person’s death doesn’t send a very effective message, as most other people in his position have already accepted the risk inherent to what they’re doing.

    In Brian’s case, non-lethal recourse wouldn’t have been effective. If he was left alive he would’ve just kept killing people for his own profit, but his death sends a message to others in his position. People who usually wouldn’t see any sort of consequences for their actions.










  • “someone who just killed a serial killer shouldn’t surrender themselves to that kill’s ravenous attack dogs?” Is an insane take?

    Although, “the US willingly subjects itself the current system” is a pretty insane take. Our healthcare system is wildly unpopular. A lot of people might not understand why it’s as bad as it is, but that doesn’t mean we’re all subjecting ourselves to it.

    Honestly I don’t even know why I jumped into these comments. You clearly have nothing of value to offer, nor are you interested in anything resembling reason, so I’m out. Enjoy your day!



  • It wasn’t murder though. It was self defense/defence of the innocent.

    If someone was actively on a homicidal rampage, blood still on their hands as they sprint to kill more innocent people, it wouldn’t be murder to stop them even with lethal means.

    This guy is responsible for thousands of deaths, and showed no indication he was going to stop. Killing him alone doesn’t stop all the innocent deaths, but if it gives is peers reason to pause their own murderous rampages, even briefly, that alone could save many people.

    I’m not signing for a murderer, I’m simping for a goddamn hero.
