    The irony is that this guy probably can’t help his behavior and didn’t come to that action by rational choice.

    So while he literally can’t help lashing out in the face of intrusive thoughts, you by choice support violence for nonsensical reasons.

    It’s like looking at someone in a wheelchair and commenting that they are completely right in that it’s only fair not to walk to protest the patriarchy or some other BS.

    A bit ableist and unsympathetic of you towards the guy effectively unable to prevent throwing his life away due to disabled impulse control.

      Yeah, nah.

      This is more a case of celebrating the stopped clock being right. It doesn’t matter if it was a conscious choice or not, it was still the right time.
