Of course you can't.
This is the fundamental presumption beneath our civilization, that we do not kill people just because we have a problem with them.
Now, we don't know precisely
what the person who shot them was trying to achieve.
But it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter whether he was upset that they were there.
It doesn't matter whether he was trying to commit some secondary crime.
It doesn't matter whether he had political or religious objections.
It doesn't matter whether he equated them in some way with ICE or other federal agents.
Perhaps he was upset about taxes.
That doesn't give him the right to kill IRS agents.
You cannot do this.
It is not just stupid to say, well, of course, if they hadn't been there, they wouldn't have been shot because someone else would have been, the police.
It is evil.
That is not how it works in the United States.
But I think, unfortunately, it is representative of a particular sort of progressive thinking, which holds that if, for whatever reason, you, being the progressive elite, don't like someone, whether that be the deployment of the National Guard in D.C.
or ICE performing and enforcing immigration law or, say, Charlie Kirk saying things they didn't like,
then it's sort of understandable.
They wouldn't go so far as to say it's justified, but it's sort of understandable.
And you have to take that into consideration when looking at the story.
