Because as we've already spoke about some people are simply mentally unhinged, brainwashed and so on.
Take for example the cult of rev jim jones or the the heavens gate cult who took their own lives for the cause of their cult leaders.
Oh ffs..here we go again.
Do you think that african american protesters, as a specific example, are mentally unhinged in their violent response to 150 years of demonstrable and historical disenfranchisement and violent oppression? Do you think that they're a cult? Do you think that they intend to commit suicide for their cult leaders?
For a guy so seemingly hung up on individual justifications your assessment of theirs is conspicuously lacking. Instead, you want to babble about islamic terrorism, crazy people, jim jones, and heavens gate.
