It would seem you consider this attack to be justified. Can you clarify?
Well, if you did a little reading instead of trying to create straw men, you would already know that the police officer in the photo was a church pastor and very much opposed the senseless killing and organ harvesting that goes on at planned parenthood.
This guy was all over the map. So far, we have some -- but not conclusive -- allegations that he:
* Spoke in a disorganized multi-topic non-sequitur and incomprehensible manner
He's all over the socio-political landscape. And decompensated in isolation.
I for one fully expect that some sort of rambling manifesto will emerge, but I could be wrong.
I'm glad you posted everything that we know, thanks. The bolded allegation speaks volumes. "Spoke in a disorganized multi-topic non-sequitur and incomprehensible manner". In other words, thought disorder. Which is associated with schizophrenia, psychosis, mania, delirium and so on. If that particular allegation is true, the psychiatric community is going to have a field day with this guy.
The evidence that has been released so far points to him acting on his religious beliefs. If he believes himself to be a Christian, it matters not one iota that you claim he isn't. AFAIK, you're not in charge of deciding who is a Christian and who isn't.
Correct, I am not in charge, Christ is, and He says: By their fruits you shall know them.
I do not care what people call themselves because their actions define them. If I called myself Chinese, would that mean I am Chinese (although I am not)? If you told me you are the president of Mexico, should I believe it just because you said so?
By far the greater issue will be whether he was an undiagnosed, decompensated schizophrenic who lacked the ability to understand the illegality and immorality of his actions, or whether he was a "cranky old coot" who just decided to make himself judge, jury, executioner,
OR 'judge, jury, executioner' AND wielder of some righteous sword that will -- by his actions -- cause people to quake in fear of his ( or 'His' ) retribution, and thus alter their beliefs and/or behavior?
Rather than just two categories, there are three.
* Out of touch, mentally ill, unable to tell right from wrong
* Belligerent, and perhaps mentally ill, but marginally functional guy who knew what he was doing and did it because he just plain wanted to.
* Cunning, thoughtful, perhaps mentally ill, and undertook his actions with the belief and motive to influence others through fear.
Laymen will often conclude that anyone targeting a person or organization that is highly charged in political or religious turmoil or conflict is automatically a "terrorist".
There is a higher legal standard for establishing "terrorism" in a crime, than there is for "bat-dung crazy belligerent, violent taking the law in your own nutjob hands" type crime.
The "middle" category is by far the most fascinating, makes us reflect most intently upon our society and our jurisprudence.
Probably every one of us has run across the "bat-dung crazy, marginally functional" type. They abound. Most aren't all that violent, or even totally nonviolent. This one wasn't... until one day in November.
Very sad...even worse when you consider that once the dust settles, they`ll go right back to aborting babies and selling baby parts to the highest bidder.

PP never sold fetal tissue for a profit. To continue to insist it did shows a failure to understand that the modest charge used was to cover the cost of handling and shipping the tissue, which was donated by the woman having the abortion, not sold by PP.

They're not "misunderstanding" anything. They're simply refusing to acknowledge it because it doesn't fit their agenda.
Its a choice. Whether or not you want to tone it down after you see people get killed is a choice. There is no law saying you need to tone it down, and no one is suggesting there should be such laws. There is NO NEED to refrain from calling people retards, or using the "N" word, or calling gays with the "F" word, but most people choose to not use those words.
And not only do most people avoid using those words themselves - they don't respect people who *do* use those words.
Which is one of the many reasons why I am such an adamant supporter of free speech. It is so useful to me when someone voluntarily reveals who they *really* are.
But of course people have no problem with BLM trashing towns and inciting all kinds of violence. Your really pathetic double standard makes your comments worth a bucket of warm spit.
Yes, hateful rhetoric of any source incites violence just as your post acknowledges.

Then pardon us if we take offense to you selectively caring about only certain types.
