what? This is nuts. Are you saying you murder people?
> A healthy society would encourage any speech which could reduce divisiveness (e.g. comments on Mr. Kirk, without retribution)
Yes I agree with this. There are a lot of people that do vigils and prayers and eulogies when people die. Then there are people that go: he deserved it and XXX is next. The former does not drive division. The latter does - and that's what needs to stop.

- throwmeaway222 1y agoI mean that's one thing, but I wouldn't call that murder - which looking at the definition "unlawfully killing of someone" I guess would depend on who calls it lawful or not.
- bluecheese452 1y agoI am sure the people that died in war are glad they were killed lawfully instead of murdered.

[0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44476115#44482107 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44476115#44482107 I also have a brother — served four tours as enlisted grunt kicking in combatants' doors — whose tally far exceeds my own (war. is. hell). It's not that I'm encouraging murder (I'm not); rather, I'm encouraging people to not live in a world where killing is never an acceptible outcome (because it is, sometimes justifiably). Some actions should literally be paid for with guilty lives ("FAFO"), e.g. child molesters.
- delichon 1y agoDo you feel that your killings were murder or are you being hard on yourself? Do you forgive yourself?
- ProllyInfamous 1y agoYes. Yes. and Yes. Given identical circumstances, I would hesitate even less doing this again.
- throwmeaway222 1y agoHey I don't disagree with anything you've said here. I just was surprised by your comment.
- ProllyInfamous 1y agoI would recon that if you walk around any medium+sized city, you probably see several murder-ers daily. If you buy food for three solid meals, you're almost-certainly interacting with one. Thanks for your feedback and previous discussion. ---- I know I'm crazy (the fun side) but can be serious when trying to share commonalities / discriminations (against murderers — lol — I get your initial point/comment). Have a great day.
- throwmeaway222 1y agoYou as well. And thank you for your service.
