    Was it wrong? Absolutely. Was it justified? Absolutely.

    Gotta pick one, chief.

    100% pure, concentrated, conservative logic right there.

      Conservatives are obsessed with anti-heroes who “do what needs to be done” even when it’s illegal and morally odious.

        They believe in end justify the means but can’t even describe or even imagine what is this “end”. End of the american empire?

      Not in America. There’s plenty of people that will tell you murder is wrong, but in the same breath tell you state-sanctioned murder is justified.

      In fact, I’d wager most people, including myself, hold logically inconsistent beliefs. Logically consistent systems are either incomplete (per Godel) or impotent (like Presburger Arithmetic).

      I really wish there was a universal moral calculus, but I haven’t found one.

    So worth remembering that incident of politican harassment has gone up by about 50% irrespective of party in the last 3 years federally. Also true across the board in the US.

    I am not justify the acts, but putting this in context.

    it’s obvious, but the system isn’t responding to, connecting with, or improving constituents lives. Or the constituents have become less tolerant of not being listened to… even if the message are mixed.

    And of course the media is not helping. Telling the whole story is important, not just a perspective.

    Edit: Down voting me doesn’t make it any less true you absolutely stupid dumbasses. You want to make the world a better place, be willing to deal with the complex truth that is the dn world!

    Seeing this while I’m listening the “No Gods No Mayors” podcast is (chef’s kiss) beautiful… I love it when a mayor is embattled.
