But speaking practically it makes no sense in the context of that conversation to be talking about the justification going on inside someone's own head.
If that's the case every action is justified.
So what? All justification is subjective anyway. I know this is going to sound "dopey" to you, but "inside someone's head" is exactly where the justification happens. And even more shockingly, just because someone takes what they consider to be a justified action, you aren't compelled to agree with them! Can you imagine that?!
This subjectivity thing ... you've really got to check it out, little buddy. It's some crazy shit, dude.

You're being intentionally the dullard, aren't you?
When someone takes an action, ipso facto that actor has decided that they are justified. Not Moe Bandy from South Fork, Indiana, not Thumpalumpacus from Texas, but that specific actor.

Dylan roofs actions were justified..... to Dylan roof.
You wouldn't have argued against my point at all.
That's because your comparisons and analogies aren't germane to the conversation, and generally speaking I avoid arguing with you because you have a dolt's insistence on refusing to see any point other than your own ... as you're amply demonstrating here.
