If you came here to say it’s all part of the plan. Then what is the plan from begining to end??
A soldier is an active and usually willing participant in homicidal violence. If they’re killed, that’s merely the chance they took. A soldier either kills or is killed, so it isn’t a shock.
A politician is usually expected to be non-violent, and political violence is a way to intimidate the electorate so it is more personal to people.
If that’s the case, then what about cops? Cops use the threat of violence to put people in rooms and take their currency vouchers. If a cop is killed, any sensible society would go “well that’s just the risk you take by threatening violence all day long”
Nobody was that upset when Han Solo shot Greedo, and Greedo was doing a cop’s job.
Probably a case of mistakenly believing everywhere is like America
It is generally part of the job description. A soldier in a war has a high probability in dying. A soldier’s death is a typical cost to war. A politician, in contrast, doesn’t have death as a potential risk to their profession. If anything, the death of a politician is generally a sign of the state being actively harmed.
The more you know about a person the more of a reaction you’re going to have when they die. Stronger feelings will come from the loss of family or friends, than a random person across the globe.
Celebrities and public officials are somewhere in the middle of that spectrum, we know more about them than we do a complete stranger so we develop opinions and feelings about them even though we never met them in real life.
I guarantee the families of those dead soldiers cared more about their troops than they would a politician.
Can you not include me? Thanks.
Um was anyone talking about you?
They took your use of “everyone” personally, I think
Sorry, I was talking about them
People loose their minds when a senator or mayor is assassinated? Most of time, people just shrug.
They should really tighten them
yeah loose minds can get lost if you drive over too many speed bumps
Plan might be the wrong word.
Intended Norm might be a better term.
