I did not say it is "correct" to shoot up a pizza parlor. I am saying that scenario of "people knowingly lie, other people are misled, other people cause violence" is an even worse situation for society than "people know the truth, people cause violence". The second one is already horrible, the first one is especially horrible.
I can empathize with the people who are deceived. The person who attacked Pelosi has now had his life ruined by lies; the lies induced him to commit violence against an innocent person. That's a thing that is sad on top of Mr. Pelosi who was almost murdered thanks to the lies. It is a pretty sad situation that people lying without consequences resulted in that outcome for both of them.
If he knew the truth and committed the crime then either 1) it was justified vigilantism or 2) it was a wrong action that he did of his own volition. Either way is is less bad than an wrong action that he was tricked into.
But how come you used an example from the left? How come you weren’t neutral and used an example from both sides? Now you looked biased and are guilty of spreading the same misinformation you’re claiming was spread in the Pelosi instance. You will cause violence against republicans with your comments, so you are now just as guilty.
Furthermore, speaking of misinformation, Pelosi’s attacker was a hardcore liberal, then suddenly became a hardcore Trumpist? And the evidence supporting this was viewed by a handful of police officers and we just have to trust them that someone can make this radical of a change from receiving misinformation? Parts of this story still don’t add up, and looks very convenient to happen right now before midterms. On top of an 82 year old surviving a hammer attack.
