Yea, some of us do wonder whether a person who opposes an insane government is insane himself. For example, had he done EXACTLY the same thing in Nazi German or Stalinist Russia, would we have the same problem with him?

A good point, but most of us at Free Republic would still have a problem with his actions even if he were in Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia.

1) A car bomb does not only kill evil bureaucrats, so it is hardly a weapon of choice. Something more finely targeted is preferable.

2) Children are innocents, even if someday they will become part of the ruling class, so mass murder at a Hitlerjugend or Young Pioneer camp is not something we would support.

3) Once having taken the path of mass murder, one does not set one’s gun down just because the cops show up. One continues to the bitter end. If you actually believe your beliefs you carry out them even to your own death.

Thanks...the first response was rather harsh, yours and the others are a bit easier on me.

As more and more people get jailed in Europe for simply trying to keep their home countries looking at least somewhat like they’ve looked for the past 1000 years, more people are going to pop and take actions against against the ruling power structure.

...but the people at that training camp were not (yet) in that power structure and it’s very possible that some may have even been turned off after having to chant for the destruction of Israel...and thus would have never joined that power structure. I agree - there is no way to justify armed action against people who are NOT oppressing you.
