The key word here that doesn't apply to any of these links: legally

Murder is also not legal. Obviously legality of actions is not a key factor in decision making here

What does this mean? How do you know he didn't test before?

If he knew what he was doing he'd use a lighter spring.

Sometimes you need to use what you have on hand. He seemed quite prepared to manually cycle the pistol.

You may question his methods, but you can't question his effectiveness.

I wouldn't do it, but I actually do understand and respect the argument, "neither political side is going to materially help me, so why not vote for a wrecking ball that will surely change something ?"

I don't respect it because it was not an overt message being campaigned on, but rather the same 4d chess contortionism of people pulling out their own wishful signal from the noise of a double-talking con artist. Furthermore even taking that argument at face value, it takes for granted how much we still do enjoy - even people on the shit rungs of society. The US military and world alliances making it so that we don't…

When you put it like that, I agree it's difficult, but I'm trying my best to be charitable. It'll be an interesting 4 years.
