Unfortunately you've neglected the normalised violence that is already being visited upon the citizens of the USA and throughout the world through its proxies. I have to say your approach is depressingly binary. I have no wish to condemn or condone Mangione. He will be tried for murder and I have no issue with him being convicted and sentenced yet I have no need to condemn him because that isn't my place.

I completely reject the Eichmann comparison. At the end of Silence of the Lambs we are left with the suggestion that Lecter will eventually eat the prosecutor and as evil as Lecter there's still a sense of karma. Its natural. Arendt's point was that evil can seem so banal while being hideous. Mangione's crime is entirely obvious and immoral but the true evil that is far more toxic is what drove him to the crime he committed.
