Interesting way to describe someone who apparently tried to hire people to murder others in cold blood.
- dreamdu5t 12y agoLet's not pretend the people he attempted to murder weren't aggressing on him in the first place. He hired hits on people who were trying to extort him (for money claimed to be lost that couldn't be repaid to Hells Angels, implying that exposing Ross' information would make him a possible target). It's not like Ross hired hits on innocent people - regardless of whether that is murder or not.

Especially someone who was trying to extort/blackmail you. The most drastic realization we'll have in the future (relative to now) is that situations determine behavior far more than any notion of free will, so avoidong creation of the situations that cause people to consider crime will become the priority.
