Why are we saying this? What right does the rifleman have to shoot the dictator? Is there some universal right to go around killing dictators that I don't know about? First, I think, we'd need to know if the rifleman was committing a legal or illegal act. Then we'd need to know how well he planned ahead for the consequences of his act. Like it or not, the man who disrupts the status quo by a voluntary act is usually held responsible for the disruption. It seems logical to me that this is so. There are no "wrong" points, imo. We are all interested in different things, and have different priorities. Clearly you and I are not looking at things the same way, but didn't you just say it would be boring if we all agreed?
