4. It's maybe worth reading the entire essay if you think it's wrong to murder

I have been thinking of historical, rather than fictional, antecedents, in particular the assassination in 1938 of a Nazi diplomat in Paris by a Polish-German Jewish teenager named Herschel Grynszpan. I’ve been thinking about it because it’s an assassination;


What he is doing here is saying this young Jewish guy murdered a Nazi prior to the Holocaust because he could see the writing on the wall or something. He is making a similarity to the murder of people in the present day.

I guess I you could say I'm not in the pro murder camp. I think murdering people is wrong, even if you call them a Nazi first. I guess I prefer voting. I mean who determines who are the Nazis?
