The scope of destruction politicians can cause directly and indirectly is incomparable to what your average psychopath joe has ever done. So I didn't take baconguy's use of civilian literally. Timmy killed 160 some people that day. How many can you argue the US federal government has killed? Almost half a mil/year was the estimate according to Forbes back in 2020.

Feels different when they do it compared to some rando. A bomb or mass shooting is really direct and in your face. Policy not so much.
