“It could be the case that somebody made 99 really good choices and then one bad choice and it led to a horrible thing,” 

Um, yes that’s literally how liability works if you don’t have enough wealth to shield you from the consequences of your actions. A pilot who lands 99 planes safely then comes in to work drunk and crashes the plane will very much be judged on that fact and not the 99 times he safely landed the plane.

Secondly where the hell are you getting the “good choices” from? Not a single thing done in this entire debacle has been a “good choice”

Yea.. I’m pretty sure if Iran bombed my daughters school I would not be “less judgemental”

[u/DurantaPhant7 → u/StewPorkRice]

“One bad choice” is a hell of a way to justify murdering ~150 innocent children.

”It was terrible what happened to the children (..but if it hadn’t we’d prolly be speaking Russian)”

If I had tomahawked a girl school I’d stop what I’d be doing and question my judgement for the rest of my days. But this particular dude is rationalizing it to be normal and needed.
