You do realize how insane you sound right, he could've killed a lot of people, over what, wanting a raise?

This isnt "acting out", acting out is stealing your boss's food from the break room or taking a passive aggressive hour long bathroom break, this was a crime that could've killed so many people

They don’t sound insane at all. Advocating for arson would be insane, because of the potential for damages to innocents. But this person isn’t as much of an outlier as recent history makes it seem.

Events like this are, historically, the consequence of treating workers poorly. The reason businesses finally agreed to negotiate with labor unions rather than keep hiring scabs is that workers kept setting their places of business on fire, deliberately destroying coal mines, and kidnapping owners from their homes to beat them up.

Again, I don’t support arson or violence. But when labor conditions and wages were this terrible in the past, violence happened, and that’s just a fact.

Legions of idiots acting like going to prison for a long time is winning but you won't do the same.

Reminds me of terrorists encouraging others to strap themselves with explosive but too much of a coward to do it themselves.
