Jon. You ARE making moral judgements on a lot of things here.

You're drawing a terribly unrealistic line as to what people are capable of.

Get off that passive non-violent high horse of yours and ACTUALLY come to terms that despite what this guy did; there are situations in which this very act would be necessary. Not in the sense that one wants to do such a thing, but in the sense that violence itself isn't controlled by mentality or personality and given the right circumstances, we can all do some pretty wild shit.

Seriously... I almost get this creeping feeling that you're making an absolute claim on violence. That it only belongs to those who "aren't right". And that is where you're making a grave miscalculation.

You can not on good faith look at history unfold before us and after us and conclude that ever instance of violence in history was the culmination of megalomaniacs and the mentally disturbed.

Fact: Some perfectly healthy, rational, and mentally balanced people are put into situations in which their actions betray their character or what you would expect them to do. If you can't grasp that concept, then it's no wonder that people here are getting pissed at you.
