  • That’s not victim blaming, bud. To the contrary.

    Webster’s, definition 2:

    martyr: a person who sacrifices something of great value and especially life itself for the sake of principle

    That leaves aside the religious overtones of the first definition.

    If you are treating deaths due to terror attack as anything other than tragedy, there is something deeply wrong with your society.

    To suggest that it is in any way voluntary, or intentional for the sake of religion, is disgusting.

    It does seem like there’s something “off” about that description. Itd be interesting to know where this all happened.

    I can imagine a driver raging at a cyclist and then later chasing them and hopping a curb to threaten. Or hopping the curb onto a sidewalk to pass them and swerving back onto the road in a threatening manner. Both strike me as very much dangerous and disproportionate reactions to having to go a bit slow for 30 seconds.
