In this WND article, Robert Knight argues that society’s growing habit of excusing theft, violence, and even murder as “justice” reveals a dangerous collapse in basic moral restraint.
- Knight opens with a personal story about a colleague who committed insurance fraud and justified it by claiming insurance companies “rip us off every day.”
- He argues that this kind of reasoning has become more common, especially when wrongdoing is aimed at corporations, the wealthy, or institutions labeled as oppressive.
- The article criticizes the modern tendency to excuse looting and theft as understandable reactions to alleged systemic injustice.
- Knight points to the support for Luigi Mangione, accused of murdering UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson, as an alarming example of moral inversion.
- He notes that Mangione has drawn donations, gifts, rallies, and “Free Luigi” merchandise from people who view the killing as justified.
- The piece cites commentary warning that when resentment is aimed at broad targets like “corporations” or “the system,” people can start treating violence as morally deserved.
- Knight sharply criticizes Hasan Piker’s reported justification of Thompson’s killing through the concept of “social murder.”
- The article connects Marxist ideology, anti-American rhetoric, and radical political movements to a broader erosion of moral accountability.
- Knight concludes that people generally know stealing and murder are wrong, but rationalization lets them silence conscience until the consequences come back on them.
