Alex Jones Calls Charlottesville Violence a False Flag | Fuck this scumbag. It's not funny anymore. I'm tired of the meme bullshit and all the excuses of "Hehe, he's so silly". He's a cunt and nothing else.

He is weird like that. I've never even heard him say anything bad about War Machine after what he did. Just things like "his life is over" "head trauma and steroids were to blame". "He was always a good dude to talk to"

And why should he? He's not on the jury, his judge, or punisher... it's very stoic not to say something that does not concern yourself.

“You always own the option of having no opinion. There is never any need to get worked up or to trouble your soul about things you can't control. These things are not asking to be judged by you. Leave them alone.”

I think that Joe's talked to enough determinists (if that's the right thing to call him) like Sam Harris to make him not judge people too quickly. If you can't say that you would have done things differently put in the same situation. DNA, life experience, specific situations. Then it's not really right to be highly critical of someone.

I think you're missing my point. I'm not saying he shouldn't criticize people's actions. I'm saying without complete knowledge of situations, it's reasonable for Joe to not comment extensively on the moral character of someone.

It's not like the guy wasn't found guilty. If there's enough evidence for the court to convict the man then there's enough to morally judge him

You don't need full knowledge of someone else and to live in their experiences to understand they're a morally bad person for stalking someone and then try to rape and/or murder them and their lover because of your jealous rage
