Ya know, I didn't think I'd be publically supporting so many murders in such a short amount of time, but here we are.

Maybe murder isn't bad by default. Maybe it matters motive and context. Like maybe if you find out someone is a murderer, the default response sould be "Well, now hold on. Let's hear him out."

I remember a story in the 90s where a guy was on trial for murder. He stabbed a guy 114 times. When the trial went on, it turns out it was his brother-in-law who had been raping his 8 year old daughter for a year. When his wife found out about the rape, the guy threatened to kill her and the daughter if he ratted on him. So that same night when he finds out from his wife that he threatened them, he goes into full rage mode. Storms his house. Climbs up the side of his house crashes through some big window. Grabs a knife and just stabs him over and over and over.

When the lawyer tried to paint him as some psycho who's a danger to society, he simply said "I am not a danger to society. I am a danger to those who threaten and rape my family. Are you threatening to rape and kill my 8 year old daughter or wife?" And the lawyer said no. So he said "Then I'm not a threat to you. I'm not a violent man, and it brought me no pleasure to kill him. But I WILL protect my family."

The jury unanimously voted not guilty.
