Cops: Letters to nyc mayor test positive for ricin

The person who is trying to kill Obama and Bloomberg is a terrorist and a traitor.
First they were saying it was Elvis, now they are saying it was a zombie. The zombie apocalypse is here!!! :scared:
 
I am a Jeffersonian philosopher, one dead tyrant puts the rest on notice. While I don't personally encourage, endorse, or condone political killing there is a chance that someone will try, and as I've been warning people for quite a few years, a charged political climate with emboldened politicians will lead to violence. There are psychopaths out there and all they need is one too many pushes to go over that cliff, I'd rather if that happens that someone who deserves it(like a tyrannical politician) suffer their consequences than innocents in public.

Here's the thing, I'm not a cold blooded man, but I am a logical one. Logic dictates that we are at a political crossroads and they are always violent, I HATE Bloomberg and would rather him lose politically, but if a psychopath does get him I'm not going to hide my feelings of glee. The difference is I don't wish for his death, but don't have a thimble's worth of sympathy for him either.

Definition of condone : If you condone something, you allow it, approve of it, or at least can live with it.

I don't see the difference.
 
I don't see the difference.
Difference being I'm not advising anyone to go on their own and use violence against a public official, realizing that some people will, if it's targeted at an especially vile scumbag like Bloomberg and succeeds we are better off as a society.

But you said that if someone were to be lucky and take him out, you would be happy. I don't think you are being honest when you say that you don't approve of a violent act against him but you would be happy if it did happen.

Look, I'm not going to sugarcoat this, if you are offended that I have stated that the world is better off without certain assholes in it that is too bad, if you are offended that I would celebrate the end of the life of certain assholes that is also too bad. If you don't want to understand that there is a difference between condoning violence against them and celebrating something that happened anyway there is no better way I can explain it.
