That's my point.
See, that's the issue I take with everything you post here. You transform it into some kind of mirror jerking, while, at the same time, display total unwilligness to walk in the shoes of the ones being on the receiving end. That's why I may repeat. Your argument is something for the garbage bin of reality. People will hate you for killing loved ones. Intent doesn't matter. It only matters for you for the feelgood impression or some intellectual high you get out of it.
But there's nothing intellectual about conflict. Only victism, humans, acting as is expected from humans.
