A person pretending to be a police officer assassinated a Democratic state legislator in Minnesota and killed the lawmaker’s husband in “an act of targeted political violence,” Gov. Tim Walz said Saturday. The assailant also shot and injured another Democratic lawmaker and his wife, officials said.
State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, died in the attack at their home in the Minneapolis suburbs. State Senator John A. Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were shot multiple times at their house in a nearby suburb, but remained alive as of Saturday morning.
The authorities were searching for the assailant, who shot at officers as they arrived at one of the lawmakers’ homes. Chief Mark Bruley of the Brooklyn Park, Minn., police said the gunman’s vehicle contained a manifesto and a target list with names of individuals, including the two lawmakers who were shot.

The far right and car left
The far right and car left have gone batshit crazy. They've redefined differences of opinions as moral imperatives and this is what you get. It's okay to kill CEO's of HMO's because of this, it's okay to kill zionists and facists because of that. It's okay to kill politicians and doctors and protestors I disagree with because of whatever.
Regardless of whether these murderers are on the left or right, the one commonality is the moral imperative. They all believe they are doing it to save society. And they are all fucking wrong. Thr glorification of that Luigi Mangione murderer is no different than the glorification of that Rittenhouse fuck.

There is a difference. Luigi
There is a difference. Luigi Mangione was personally fucked over by that CEO and millions of others who were also fucked over by that CEO or another CEO just like him supported Luigi Mangione.
Rittenhouse and the MN shooter were told by Fox News that they were being fucked over when in fact they suffered nothing.

No difference, it's
No difference, it's vigilantism. Out healthcare system blows chunks and they are assholes in how they make coverage decisions. Yet, it's all within the law. Shooting someone in the back because Mario didn't like the system became his moral imperative. It's no different than Rittenhouse, and definitely no different than those who kill "abortion doctors."
Just being objective here. Subjectively, I really don't think a violent overthrow is warranted, and the progressive "revolutionaries" have their heads so far up their own asses that they couldn't lead preschoolers to the cafeteria, let alone a cohesive revolution.

Are "coverage decisions" that
Are "coverage decisions" that result in further injury, illness, or even death not inherently violent acts to begin with?
I lean toward yes
also trying to be objective. No I obviously don't think Luigi or rittenhouse are heroes.

I don't know. However much I
I don't know. However much I hate to admit it, I think a stronger case can be made that killing an abortion doctor immediately saves lives than does killing an HMO CEO. I don't agree with that case, but I at least understand the fucked up reasoning.
Is the revolution people walking around killing executives in industries that are harmful? Or killing zionists in the US because they are simply zionists? Or killing politicians because of their policy stances?
There are moral imperatives on both sides, and if the answer is random acts of violence, that's kind of fucked, at least to me.
