I have tried to explain, mostly to Protestants, who I consider the retarded branch of Churchianity, why killing is really always wrong. Even when it is “right” it still is a sub-optimal outcome. Which doesn’t mean that sometimes it’s not necessary.
Watch this video. It’s engrossing, not a waste of your time, I assure you. When you’re done, come back here and see how you agree or disagree with my assesment.
The black guy
My first thought there was… how much was the rape actually rape and how much was it bad judgement on the girl’s part?
THAT is what would haunt me if I was that black guy. Assuming the rapist was indeed a full blown rapist, it would be easier to live with yourself, as this man has chosen to do. You’ll note he too bemoans the fact the girl was never allowed to testify, which begs the question as to why that is.
That said. You’d be lucky to have this kind of friend on your side in a foxhole. I can only hope the rapist was indeed a rapist and not just someone the girl regretted sleeping with.
The one punch guy
This is the most haunting and hard one to deal with. He thought it was just a scuffle protecting his mate, who is probably an irredeemable asshole. I wrote about erroneous loyalty in RTCC, as it is an insidious thing, one I was subject to myself for years, before Systema helped me improve on the Japanese budo code.
Loyalty under correct situations is sacrosanct. Loyalty stolen by deception, or gaslighting, or erroneous belief, is amongst the worst of errors you can commit as a human being. Soldiers in particular are susceptible to it. There is an old Venetian poem/story about the difference between a soldier and a warrior. I will reproduce it in a coming book, eventually.
This man had to learn the lesson of erroneous loyalty in a very hard way. It is also clear to me this man was not religious at the time of his accidental homicide and I think he probably wasn’t particularly so at the time of interview.
The London “Business Man”
The so-called “Justice System” was instrumental in creating this guy. The dirty cops created a man that rightly realised it was all a sham.
And you can’t really fault his actions with regard to the Turkish rape gang, can you?
He’s the kind of “honest criminal” I have met and known. There is invariably some ethical lines you would not agree with them on and so on, but by and large, if you’re honest and respectful, they are often honest and respectful back. They are somewhat of a dying breed, but they exist. As a class, they are far, far superior to white collar bankers, CEOs, CFO, COOs and almost all lawyers and many judges, and usually of far superior moral fibre than the average cop.
After all, these thugs were smart enough to become proper criminals without government sanction, unlike most cops in the UK, and USA.
And notice he does regret one accidental homicide. And no, I am not partisan because he became Catholic. But I am glad he did. And his reductionist comment about what types of people there are is spot on.
Mine is that there are only two types of people:
Those who love the truth, and those who say they do.
Update: turns out this guy is a famous crime guy and he got an OBE from the queen for his work in trying to teach young people to avoid crime. He did an interview with True Geordie that is worth watching and it’s funny how he thinks about politicians. And the business that is crime. He mentions how if crime stopped tomorrow, what would you do with all the cops, lawyers, judges, prison guards, etc. etc. And that’s why he says he wasn’t a gangster, but a businessman.
The sniper
This poor bastard, is simply a soldier. This is the lot of soldiers. You kill people for reasons you don’t know or even understand, because someone that society in general has decided has the authority to do so, has ordered you to do it.
It the ultimate betrayal of the simple minded, the innocent, the erroneously loyal.
And also the hiding place of seriously fucked up serial killers, who couldn’t care less about who they kill or why, just as long as they get to do it consequence free.
One thing… this man is not a religious believer. If he does find God, and I hope it is the True one, Sedevacantist Catholic, his burden would definitely become lighter.
Point of note
Notice how the two men who did profess religion, are far more at peace with themselves than the other two. When I was zen-agnostic or even earlier when I was briefly atheist, I would have put this down to a cowardly inability on the part of the religious to take full responsibility for their own actions. Now, I know better that this is not at all the case. The burden is lighter, simply because you know, know beyond any doubt, that proper and correct judgement upon you is and will be delivered. Inescapably. And horrible as that judgement might be, it is a relief to know your sins will be perfectly accounted for in full measure.
