If Jimmy jumped off a cliff, would you?

From a comment by kt on his blog, KillingTime:

Plenty of people have the balls to do their own killing.

It happens about 600 times a year here in Chicago alone.
Some of that is gang violence. Some is drug related. Some of it is stray shots from drive by shootings at random targets.

What about executives that decide to lay people off and have a lackey in HR do it so they don't have to see the faces of the people being canned?

What about lawyers that... OK, maybe I don't have to even finish that sentence.

People do things as bad or worse than murder all the time.

...

And that makes it - okay? Holy fuck! Gosh, I didn't know that because all the "cool" kids were doing it, going out and shooting someone had suddenly become this okay thing to do! Where can I get my machine gun, 'cause there's plenty of people out there who've pissed me off over the years. I've had people rip me off on countless occasions, for example, so I can go and shoot them now - right?

Just because the Chicago PD isn't able to take care of all the gang violence and drugs doesn't give someone the right to start up a fucking business killing people for a living.

Taking a weapon and purposefully killing someone with it is murder, folks! Thou shalt not kill. Remember that one anyone?

How absurd to find myself quoting from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"...

"Because it's wroooong."

And this guy even has the hypocrisy to go to church! He must be Catholic. They're the only religion I know where you can pay your way into salvation from your sins.
