    How do you determine who it is ok to kill and who it is not ok to kill?

    How do you determine who to have sympathy for and who to not have sympathy for?

    I hope I never kill but if someone breaks into my house and threatens my family, those hopes will not play a role.

    Apparently a lot of people are saying you have to sympathize with someone who got murdered if they have a spouse and children.

    So I'm assuming those same people get angry when someone doesn't express sympathy for the death of people like Yahya Al-Sinwar

    Are you a fan of his? I sympathize for his 3 young children for having a father like that.

    Why would I be a fan of such a horrible situation all around? Dude grew hate in his heart over the years of being born in a literal refugee camp and experiencing close family members dying since a child and became a extremist leader. Why the hell would I want to be a fan of that? Its a horrible situation all around. The fact that this guy had this traumatic upbringing... All the civilian Israeli victims killed or traumatized by his orders and actions... Just tragic all around.

    Fan of what exactly?

    Good for you expressing sympathy for his kids though I'm not sure if they are dead. I'm sure you lambasted individual posters like ATW when they celebrated his death.

    If this is about Luigi it is certainly shining a light.

    I mean he murdered someone in cold blood, it should matter a lot.

    But then, Rittenhouse murdered 2 - he is free.

    Then someone chokes someone out they are free.

    OJ murdered his wife he walked free.

    We just elected a Rapist and convicted felon as President - he is still free.

    Elon threatens Congress illegally and he is free.

    Laws don't seem to matter as much these days...do they? And our history shows, well world's history really that sometimes you have to murder, or execute or go to war to effect necessary change.

    Dangerous times we are living in, but this is what you get when integrity and ethics are tossed out in pursuit of greed and money.

    GMU student charged in mass-casualty plot targeting Jews
    FBI says Abdullah Hassan, an 18-year-old freshman, showed an undercover informant how to strike Israel’s general consulate in New York.

    When they are armed, or physically attacking and threatening to kill someone else.

    One-time tried to come in my home
    Take my chrome, I said, "Yo, it's on
    Take cover son, or you're ass-out
    How you like my chrome?", then I watched the rookie pass out
    Didn't have to blast out, but I did anyway
    That young punk had to pay
    So I just killed a man

    Here is something you can't understand
    (How I could just kill a man)

    What if they are threatening to kill some one through other means . . .indirect. . . .slow .. . . torturous means.
    We allow murder through Bureaucracy, denial of service, etc
    It's ok . . .. as long as their is a profit motive to do so??

    Like I said, I only believe in killing for self-defense.

    All other means of killing anyone I find immoral and wrong, and people should face serious charges, not just monetary fines. Nobody deserves to be harmed by others' actions that put them in danger. (slow death by chemicals spewed in the environment, knowing that the product you sell isn't safe, etc..) I also believe that absolutely nobody should be denied healthcare that could save their life simply because they can't afford it.

    I don't kill, and who knows if I could. I suppose if say there are 2 requirements to bring an innocent killing: 1) Unintentional 2) Force was reasonably necessary to prevent severe harm

    Sympathy is for those I care about in some fashion or believe was robbed of innocence.

    I don't feel for the CEO, but I also don't feel for George Floyd or the guy on the subway. My lack of sympathy in a every case has nothing to do with how I view the required justice.

    When to Kill:
    • your life, the life of your friends and family, and your "castle" (your home) are being threatened or invaded
    • To take down tyranny, the whole reason the US exists, the reason we have the second amendment, kill the government when it over-reaches
    • defend your nation/land, when someone invades, kill them
    • to end a war: take the beachhead at Normandy, take down Hitler
    When not to kill:

    • Out of pity, When Gollum might yet have purpose

    Anyone of you keyboard warriors here killed a person before? I’m packing heat and train regularly on BJJ. Thank God I never have to use lethal or nonlethal force to defend myself and my family. I pray daily so I would never be put in that situation where I have to take another life.
