Murder sucks, but sometimes letting them continue is worse. If they remove other options for justice then justice must be served in whatever form is left.
(removed — sorry this thread is too fedposty for my liking)
There's always more options. However, there needs to be a point where you don't let them keep going. Sure, we could have continued to negotiate with Hitler instead of going to war. At some point you have to accept that the thing you've been trying to avoid is the best option left.
Look. You need a lot of people to actually fight this thing, millions actually, and it's preferable this fight happens while there's still a pretense of democracy left.
Yes, it's helpful to frame the fight around Musk to get the point across, and you can be as mean and threatening towards him as you want — but don't forget you're up against a whole system here, not just Musk! If someone actually did something to him, you'd get martial law the next day and everyone vaguely leftist would get shot in the head. You don't want that!
Get people on your side, organize, and attack the system, and do it as legally as possible. Make them (by which I mean the party, starting with local officials) afraid of how many of you there are. Use Musk as the symbol of evil around which to get people angry, don't advocate for someone to make him a martyr...
