Wait sorry about the last sentence. I phrased this completely different than what I wanted to say. Thats on me. I do NOT want the discussion to simmer down. I don’t want this death to have been for nothing and I do want change.

All good, it happens.

If Brian Thompsons primary objective was to kill then I’d support it. But I don’t think it was. I think this system is at fault for it all the the politicians need to change it likes stated.

The problem is that people like Brian Thompson are the people who built the system, who bribed politicians to make it legal.

You think self-justice is justified. I think its not. Thats the point I’ll stick with.

I think simply calling this self-justice is inaccurate. If anything it's class justice. It was an action taken in self defense by the working class. It may have only been one person pulling the trigger on one person, but ultimately it is a result of class warfare, not simply self-justice.
