this sounds like lots of maybes that does covering, where there is talk of plenty of reasonable doubt. We are saying we are confused and there is reasonable doubt, sure you could be correct, but thats some mental gymnastics to get out of that reasonable doubt
I'm sorry it reads that way. What I'm trying to say is that you have to look at the whole picture.
"Let's say I kill a high profile individual on the street you know, hypothetically."
If you say that, you have to take into account what kind of person might do that. It's a person who is not thinking normally. It's something that people thinking normally might be tempted to do, but they wouldn't actually do it.
"Do you seriously believe that I'd be casually hanging out in public at a McDonalds with a manifesto and loaded gun in my bag?"
This is something that someone who's thinking normally wouldn't do. But, we've already established that someone who kills someone else on the street isn't thinking normally. You can't start from an assumption of normal thinking for someone who you've already hypothesized is a cold-blooded killer who killed a stranger on the street.
I would disagree, I would say it is normal to kill someone who is responsable for thousands of deaths, thousands of people dieing so you can make more money. It is only a collective cowardace, one that I have to admit also have. But I would argue within the history of humanity, and just normal human emotion, that that would be someone thinking normaly, you are killing a, truly stagering amount of people for, no real reason, someone has to stop you and there is no reason why that person should not be me.
Once agian i want to point out how truly insane it is that more of us do not do this regularly, how this is seen as a rare and shoking event and killing healthcare CEOs and other Billionares, who ammase their weath on mass exploitation is.
If it was normal, it wouldn't be newsworthy.
You have it because you're normal. He didn't, meaning he wasn't normal (he being whoever shot the CEO).
Insanity is an abnormal mental or behavioral state. By definition, if it's how everyone acts, then it's not insane. It's normal.
You can say that we ought to act differently, but that's not how people are wired. Normal people don't act that way.
In other words, it's abnormal. That's why we're paying attention.
