I recently commented on a clip of Charlamagne Tha God saying he doesn't condone the recent Trump assassination attempt, BUT he understands why "some folks are fed up and willing to risk it all." Well, he saw my comments and doubled down while insisting that he didn't "justify" anything.
But that's missing the point. Saying “I’m not for political violence, BUT...” is exactly how people rationalize actions like the WHCD shooter took.
When an American citizen decides that voting, speaking, suing, or waiting for the next election is no longer enough and that only a bullet will do, the blame is THEIRS alone. Empathizing and saying "BUT they had a legitimate reason to be mad" only teaches young Americans to justify the violence. It tells them that principles come with an asterisk and that the line between thought and murder is negotiable.
Political violence is NEVER legitimate or understandable. No buts.
