    Murder shouldn’t be given a free pass if the target was unpopular enough.

    I agree. The US BRUTALLY MURDERED Osama Bin Laden. He had a family, how cruel are you people. Disgusting. We should arrest and charge the people that killed him for MURDER!!!

      I’d honestly even say killing Bin Laden was less morally acceptable than killing Thompson tbh. One had 0 additional casualties, and one was preceded by a war which fucked the entire middle east, created multiple power vaccuums, killed thousands of civilians, and involved literal warcrimes.

      If you can’t recognize the difference between a military operation and shooting someone in the face on the street, you seriously need help.

        Bin Laden wasn’t on a battlefield, he merely directed others to perform deadly acts. Same as Thompson.

          No, but you see, because Mangione wasn’t employed by the US military (who started a baseless, illegal war in Iraq that led to literal hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths and massive regional instability), he’s on the hook for this one. Sorry, them’s the breaks. There’s no moral authority quite like the US military, I tell ya what.

        Say what now? Have you ever heard a term “war crime”?
