    Not endorsing but putting in perspective, that symbol of domestic terrorism killed less people in 20 years than police in one day.

      That’s an asinine comparison. One person didn’t kill as many people as a larger group? You could state the same thing in many ways depending on the “point” you want to make.

        The only asinine thing here is that US police killed killed at least 1176 people just in 2022, but somewhat is not considered the symbol of domestic terrorism.

        And i won’t even start about what US military do outside of US.

          Yes, and while that is terrible it is a completely separate issue not related to the Unabomber. Unless the point you are trying to make is, that we should have let a convicted terrorist go until he killed at least as many people as the US police.
