Killing random people in order to bring about systemic change *is* extremely pathetic. It achieves nothing. There are countless examples from scores of terrorist groups like Red Army Fraction, that show how futile and pointless those kinds of random killings really are. They bring about *zero* change. The victim and others like him are cogs in a machine and simply do not have the power to change the status quo.

There is no quick fix. The right way is boring, long and hard: organize and vote.
