    That poster is showing empathy and you are not.

    Correct.

    MORE violence is clearly not the answer to this problem.

    Also correct.

    but these people are some of the ones most desperately in need of help.

    At least from me, they have given up any eligibility for empaty or help when they decide to murser innocent people.

      There’s a big difference between “the voices are telling me that if I eliminate these people other people will be happy and thank me for what I’m doing” and “I fucking hate all you left-wing, socialist loving, rainbow wearing pussies! You need to die to make this world a better place!”

      One is someone with severe mental illness, the other is just a piece of shit human being.

        Not from the viewpoint of the people getting eliminated and their loved ones there isn’t.

        I’d rather have empathy with them than the killers, no matter their motivation.
