OK, you need to be walked through it every step of the way, then.
Akhil gives a gun to Omar.
Akhil knows Omar hates, to pick a threatened minority at random, gay people, and wants to kill them.
Omar shoots up, let's say, a gay nightclub. In, to pick a city totally at random, Orlando, Florida. And just for funsies, let's call it The Pulse. I'm sure this totally imaginary scenario bears no resemblance to any actual event, and no gay nightclub called The Pulse in Orlando, Florida has ever been shot up by a virulent homophobe named Omar Mateen. Pure imagination.
The judicial system would view Akhil as an accessory to murder in that instance.
Let me further introduce you to the concept of stochastic terrorism. Boy, aren't you learning a lot tonight! I'm happy for you.
Yes I agree with all of that. Person A would be an accessory to murder.
Being an accessory to murder is a different thing than being a murderer. That's why they have different labels. I think you view them as the same? Or are suggesting they are?
Grow the fuck up and stop denying the truth. You're wrong. Just admit it and move on.
Do you have to commit the murder for it to be bad?
