No mass murderer has ever caused a sea-change of how things are, as a result of the murder they commit.

Mass murder never has the results these killers seem to think it will.

History is full of examples of people who murdered hundreds or thousands of people and not only got away with it, but became heroes for it.

Even recently, the killer of Shinzo Abe seems to have succeeded beyond his wildest dreams.

Violence is wrong, of course, but let’s not pretend that it never works.
