One murder doesn't justify another.
But there are thousands of these cases.
Eventually people get tired of being pushed around. You might not feel that way if you were in a similar situation.
Right, that was the point I was implying. One murder doesn't justify another. When there are thousands, it's not really murder anymore. It's self defense. I recognize that I wasn't clear, though.
Just put the word one in italics like you did here and it'd be clear I think
Probably, but then the downvotes would seem like people disagree.
Many people feel that any murder is bad. And while I would agree, there is a point where it's worse to do nothing about multiple murders.
Violate the social contract enough and that social contract requires the rest to stop your violation.
I think that OP was saying that while one murder does not justify reciprocal action, thousands of murders just might justify one teensy little shooting of one rich asshole.
It's looking more and more like a trolley problem. Luigi pulled the lever.
some feel like one can stop the others from happening, just for the record.

Residential treatment for addicted teens should be the standard of care. We need more such programs.
Taking bets on the denial letter written by AI.
It's the same form letter they send every denial. This isn't the first time they've denied care, this time it happened to be kid from a family that can afford to sue.
Alternative title, United Healthcare killed a teen due to service negligence.
This happens constantly, and it's awful.
Who CARES about this kid as LONG as the CEO was Able to Afford a Nice Mansion?
