I won’t dwell on the pathetic “manifesto” that the murderer of Brian Thompson had in his possession when he was arrested yesterday, except to note that one of its lines serves to underscore how abject and how disgraceful his actions truly were. Having tossed off a few ignorant lines about the American healthcare system, he then says:

Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument.

Ah, okay. So the problem is “complex,” and he wasn’t the most “qualified person” to make the “argument,” but, despite this, he considered himself justified in committing a murder to advance it? That’s entitlement on an unimaginable scale.
