I am perfectly comfortable judging people on the basis of the actions they willingly carry out. People who are at absolutely zero physical risk from the people they are directly and personally responsible for killing are morally culpable in my view, and I am not obliged to care about them.

I'm inferring from your statement that you believe that the only justified use of deadly force is a situation where someone is themselves at risk of physical harm, is that accurate?

As far as caring for them, I don't think anyone is obliged to care for anyone or anything (free will and all that). I do think that the more people that you choose to place into your own personal out-group of "gofuckthemselves", the more of your own humanity you lose touch with.

[anigbrowl]

Your concern is touching. If only you had any left over for innocent people killed or bereaved with no warning, by people whose might at worst suffer some psychic pain pursuant their own actions.

[glloydell]

The immediate and generational trauma and pain that's being caused by this violence is fucking horrendous and something that enrages and saddens me.

I choose to focus my ire on those responsible for creating the policies and making the decisions to create the situation, not the people at the bottom of the ladder who are responsible for enacting them.

I find your lack of empathy disturbing.
