       "I highly doubt that he committed the crime out of compassion
       for fish"
       Most readers of the Tanakh highly doubt that Cain killed Abel
       out of compassion for the lambs (Abel's victims). But our
       interpretation is that that was indeed Cain's motive, because we
       give people benefit of doubt in absence of contrary information.
       I simply applied the same standards to Vandyke as I did to Cain.
       I do not recall you complaining about our interpretation of
       Cain, so I would be interested to hear why you have different
       standards for Vandyke.

       @90sRetroFan Because a lot of the stories in the Bible are
       historically dubious enough to the point where the only real
       usefulness that can be extracted from them, is the archetypes
       that they represent. For one, Cain was the archetypal farmer,
       and Abel was the archetypal herder. Combined with the fact that
       Abel's offering of flesh was what set off Cain's murder attempt,
       there's at least some  evidence that what Cain did was
       justified. There is zero evidence in the case of Vandyke. Again,
       we have no motive at all. All we know is that some random man
       killed some random boy who we happen to dislike. Even if it were
       true that, one, the story of Cain and Abel actually happened,
       and that two, Cain really did not kill Abel for the reason we
       would consider justifiable, then I would accept the fact that
       Cain isn't someone to admire or even to respect. If the criteria
       for who this guy murders has nothing to do with whether they
       initiate violence, then there's no real reason to label him a
       hero

       As a side note, I think it's worth mentioning that even if I
       wanted to give Vandyke the benefit of the doubt, it doesn't make
       strategic sense for us to do so. If we posted the mugshots of
       every single guy who just so happened to kill someone we don't
       like, then we'd have thousands upon thousands of examples, and
       0.001% of them would turn out to be anybody notable when further
       information comes to light. I'd rather just use this thread as
       an opportunity to shed light on those who are definitively
       noble, so that the cases we post on here aren't just filler

       "All we know is that some random man killed some random boy"
       We know Vandyke knew Butler:
       [quote]the suspect was an acquaintance of the boy’s
       father[/quote]
       It does not seem contrived to assume he was aware of Butler's
       cruel hobby, or had encountered other but similar manifestations
       of Butler's cruelty. If I knew Butler and had killed him,
       avenging his victims would surely be my motive for doing so.
       Thus for me to not at least start off by assuming Vandyke did so
       for the same motive would be dishonourable, as it amounts to
       expecting less of him than I would expect of myself.
       "If we posted the mugshots of every single guy who just so
       happened to kill someone we don't like"
       That's not what we do. I only drew attention to this story
       because our enemies drew attention to it first, just as I only
       talk about Cain and Abel because Judaism talked about them
       first. This is about turning our enemies' stories against them
       by changing the way people interpret these stories.

       That's true. Fair enough

       Berlin police not sorry for brutal response: 'Violence part of
       system'
       [quote]Berlin police say 'the use of violence is part of
       Germany's legal system' in response to claims of using excessive
       force against protesters at a recent anti-lockdown
       rally.[/quote]
  HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL_MBq9cLRQ
       Technically speaking, a rally or a protest is a siege of the
       state, which is initiated violence that effects everyone in the
       state who does not agree with your siege. The real question
       should be though: "Is initiated violence part of the system?". I
       think we would argue here that 'yes', initiated violence is
       indeed part of the Western system and all Western governments
       initiate violence against their citizenry, and especially
       refugees seeking asylum. Considering the latter part of the last
       sentence it could be argued that all Western governments deserve
       retaliatory violence, whether it be in the form of a siege, or
       other means. So, even though I do not agree with this protest,
       or protesting in general, I do not feel sympathy for any Western
       government. Having said that, I do not agree with the Jan 6th.
       attack by rightist insurrectionists on the U.S. Capitol because
       they are themselves Westerners who would only make Western
       initiated violence worse had they been successful with their
       coup attempt. If "anti-violence" was a corner stone of the
       Western system I would feel different, but it is not, and far
       from it actually.
       I guess we can also thank the police in Berlin for being
       brutally honest.

       A better way to say it would be to say: "If initiated violence
       is the norm then expect retaliatory violence.".

       Not sure if any reproductive potential was removed, but better
       than nothing.

       Compared to the choice of target in the previous post, this
       choice of target (younger) is more likely to eliminate
       reproductive potential. However, the attack itself does not
       appear to have done so. Given the Ahimsa activists' considerable
       numerical advantage, this is quite a disappointment.

       It turns out that the Ahimsa activism covered in this post:
  HTML https://trueleft.createaforum.com/true-left-vs-false-left/true-left-breakthrough-ahimsa/msg8261/#msg8261
       was one of a series by the same activist:

       Of course, I consider the 6:41 and 7:10 target choices to have
       greater potential for eliminating reproductive potential, but
       again the attacks do not appear to have done so.
       Bonus detail:
       [quote]It was revealed last month that there were 87
       anti-Semitic incidents of physical violence recorded across the
       capital in May - around four times higher than any point in the
       past three years.
       All other months since May 2018 saw levels ranging between seven
       and 22 incidents per month, a Freedom of Information request to
       the Met Police found.
       The figures showed 39 of the incidents involved male victims,
       while 43 targeted women. In one of the incidents, police
       recorded rocks being thrown at a Jewish home in London.
       Dozens of other non-violent incidents were recorded across the
       capital throughout the month, including one where the word
       'Hitler' was written on the ceiling of a communal block of
       flats.[/quote]
