    You consider someone anti-life because they refuse to stand by idly while someone kills others?

    Do you hold this view consistently, such that you consider police stopping a mass shooter to be “anti-life”?

    Or do you pick and choose which murders are acceptable to intervene in?

    • No. I consider someone anti-life that argues killing is basically okay if you think it’s okay. It’s a made up comic and not one of us really knows what the bad guy did.

      But the tone in this comment section feels more like: yeah sure killing others is totally fine if we just find a reason to feel good about it. Wtf? What low level trigger would be okay for you to kill another person without feeling bad?

      I’m not the police on a specific mission and I’m not in a country where we have mass shooting. But even in this case I would argue that we badly need to find ways to prevent mass shooting instead of being okay with killing the shooter.

      As for crime in general… The more civilized society is the one without the death penalty.

      Dehumanizing imaginary people and ease of mind with it, that’s what’s happening here.
