I'm actually not a progressive, but let's not pretend that people automatically assume terrorist when the skin color is brown, and "mental illness" when the skin color is white. And actually, someone who kills for political reasons is what the military does. They just have a structured command to kill. |
No question about the assassin’s motive in targeting, stalking, and slaughtering this innocent young couple merely on account of their nationality and heritage:

Bigger problem that I haven’t seen come up. He was apparently a member of the Party of Socialism and Liberation. Do you think he came up with this on his own or are we looking at a group planned situation. |
Here are his political beliefs:
“Elias Rodriguez from the Party for Socialism and Liberation argued that the murder of Laquan McDonald and the Chicago bid for an Amazon headquarters are not two separate issues, but rather they are both connected. “The wealth that Amazon has brought to Seattle has not been shared with its Black residents,” Rodriguez said. “[Amazon’s] whitening of Seattle is structurally racist and a direct danger to all workers who live in that city. So do we in Chicago and all across the country want a nation of cities dominated and occupied by massive corporations where only the rich and white can live and the vast majority of us must live on edges of the city and society living in deeper and deeper poverty? “I don’t think so.” From Liberation magazine (tagline: Newspaper of the Party for Socialism and Liberation) May 2017.” |
Never heard of it. The radicalization of the far left and the far right is a problem. And unfortunately, the radicalized right is now running the government. Fortunately, the radicalized far left is extremely small and powerless. |
Such muddled thinking. 1. Let’s go with the facts, rather than your speculative musings on society’s racism. Fact here is last night’s killer was a political activist, Chicago killer was not. That’s an important distinction. 2. Structured commands, civilian government control, targeting control and approval, subject to discipline and the rules of conflict, etc., etc. In other words, militaries and political terrorists ate nothing alike.

You do realize that conservatives have murdered a lot of abortion clinic workers, right? |
maybe two in 50 years |
A lot of progressives have been posting this on Twitter the past two days “ Personally I support military intervention to entirely and permanently abolish the apartheid state of Israel.” |
Exactly. |
Except Israel doesn't gaf about "targeted control" or that the UN has condemned Israel's indiscriminate killings, so they don't exactly follow "rules of conflict". So if Israel doesn't follow the "rule of conflict" why should others? One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. See Nelson Mandela. |
Trump is all over "Truth" Social advocating for wiping out Gaza. |
The situation in Israel and Palestine is a car crash that you can’t look away from. The truth is both Hamas and Israel’s government are both wrong and violent. It’s an argument over who people think is more justified but there certainly isn’t a right side. A bunch of kids have died over a violent 80 year land dispute and it looks like it isn’t nearing an end. |
