Three questions for those who celebrate the murder of Brian Thompson:

1) What if someone shot Fauci on the presumptive grounds that his help in funding GoF research led to countless premature deaths? Fair game?

2) If you're opposed to the death penalty, are you OK with private citizens committing public executions of those they consider "guilty" of some perceived "crime"? In other words, do you advocate vigilantism?

3) What if Mangione had missed and instead shot and killed a 4-yr old girl nearby? Would you express admiration for his "noble intentions"?

Wow, excellent questions, Irwin! And by the way, I'm a Sun Ra fan, although I've only recently discovered him.

It's OK, Ted. I was kinda late to the game with Ra too, but I've done a reasonable job making up for the decades-long neglect.

Your outrage is puzzlingly selective.

Say, Jane -- how about addressing your concerns in a long, detailed, fact-based response to Mr. Balaker? Your Substack seems to be -- empty.

Yes, Jane, if you'd like to do what Alien suggests, I'd be happy to publish it as a guest post.
