An official in Lebanon says a man with a rifle who crashed into a large Michigan synagogue in what federal officials are saying was an attack had lost four family members in his native country in an Israeli airstrike last week.
Idk man, I really hate what US Christians are doing right now, but I don’t think shooting up a random church is going to fix anything. If this shithead wanted to take out his sorrow on someone, he should have headed to DC to attack someone actually culpable.
No one gave a shit that his family were innocent bystanders. Why should he care that these victims were. The people making the decisions are wrapped in layers of security. These people are why they have the power to make those decisions.
I’m not defending violence, but it does make more sense than you give it credit for. In the end violence will only breed more violence, but when your reason to care is gone, when justice is never coming for the guilty, people will take their vengeance out wherever they can reach.
No, I’m saying it’s rational. I’m not suggesting it’s right. It doesn’t solve anything, killing more people won’t bring his family back and ultimately will only justify more violence. It’s an embrace of nihilism by someone who has nothing left to care about but petty vengeance.
What I’m saying is, if you start from the assumption nothing matters, then it is perfectly reasonable. I reject the premise, but the conclusion is logical for someone who doesn’t. Strip a person of everything that matters to them, and they have no reason not to seek the cold comfort of vengeance against whomever they can access.

But you literally are, though.
