You applauded when the U.S. Navy Seals filled Osama Bin Ladin with hot lead.
And so did I.
Niether you nor I shed tears if Baghdadi or Hitler or Jeffry Daumier die violently, even if its without due process in a court.
Partially its revenge,but mainly our motive is to prevent more deaths. Plug the terrorist, or despot, or serial killer now, so he doesn't keep on killing. And save lives.
These extremist activist simply take that same sentiment and apply it to folks we don't apply it to.
To an extreme Right-to-lifer an abortion doctor is like the Sandy Hook spree shooter shooting children in a school, and needs to be taken down.
Same with an extreme Peta person who is upset about minks being raised in a mink farm to be turned into stoles for rich ladies.
Some extremist just get into their own little mindset that's -actually similar to our own- but is different from our own.
