Yeah there's no way he can come out and publicly condone murder of course. Good old Bernie is right as well. Without political backing murder won't actually improve things, no matter how cathartic the moment was.

None of us should be condoning it either, btw. More like, this is a wake up call for what happens when peaceful protest is suppressed. Like, murdering Nazis was deemed acceptable. We need to draw a line somewhere.

For many people sitting comfortably in the status quo, that line is very far away. For others, we are flying dangerously close to that line.
