      There’s many other reasons to torch his office. You should check out what his congressional district looked like.

        That’s not a reason to commit arson. You shouldn’t go around burning things and causing destruction.

          I mean, you do if you want to force change, punish more than a single person, want to disrupt activities, or want to make as big a scene as possible to gain visibility.

          Violent protest may not be popular, but it can work.

          The real problem here is that the moron doing it did it poorly, with little or no real planning, and ran the risk of unnecessary collateral damage. You gotta be careful with fire, and this wasn’t careful

          Yes you should.

          This person was a Republican, that’s reason enough to fire bomb their face let alone a victimless crime like an empty office.

          Only status quo lovers argue against individual violence while sucking off state violence.

          You’re only not a slave due to people going around burning things and causing destruction.
