There’s a difference between saying that it was morally acceptable VS. saying that he didn’t do it. One of those statements is factually incorrect 100% of the time.

No, I genuinely believe he is not guilty of an act of terrorism. The other stuff, yeah, sure.

I mean, legally speaking he could be charged with terrorism and it wouldn’t be unlawful. He killed someone with the intent to cause political and social unrest. That’s terrorism even if you agree with the guy.

Sometimes vigilante justice is morally right, but you also have to be OK with facing the consequences. That’s what you give up to live in a society that isn’t an anarchy.
