Luigi Mangione and the Romance of Murder

Over at Law & Liberty, the indignant doctor castigates an Ivy League-educated radical murderer and his fellow would-be revolutionaries who trivialize killing as long as it is for the ‘right’ cause.

The world will always offer pretexts for political violence by Enragés of various stripes, for the world as it is will always be a disappointment by comparison with an imagined perfection, or even mere betterment. Righteous indignation is a beguiling and gratifying, but misleading, emotion. It rarely allows for a sense of proportion and is a powerful promoter of self-importance and self-aggrandizement.
