British journalist Dogulas Murray issued a dire warning to the left in an interview with the Free Press, as they have seemed to flirt with excusing theft and murder as a practical way to effectuate political change.
The primary form of this endorsement has come as some left-wing politicians have embraced Hasan Piker, an activist known for his inflammatory rhetoric, including past comments interpreted as endorsing the 9/11 attacks, expressing support for Hamas as a resistance group, and offering positive assessments of Mao Zedong and communist Cuba. The New York Times recently joined that trend, as Piker appeared to justify the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in an interview, while receiving little to no pushback from the journalists conducting it.
"If they really do excuse murder, they better watch out because history shows that these things aren't one directional."

"If these people, the New York Times, really do excuse looting and theft, and if they really do excuse murder, they better watch out because history shows that these things aren't one-directional," Murray said. "But other people, equally wicked people, may think that the violence should go against them and in their direction."
"I wouldn't want that because, like you, having seen the consequences of violence, I hate it with all my heart," he said. "But people who've never seen it and don't understand the consequences, and don't know what an exit wound looks like, and don't know the unmendable damage that murder and political violence does, are willing on something which, I mean, I simply can't use any word other than the term evil. It's evil."
In other words, if Democrats continue to endorse a more violent view of effectuating political change, the genie cannot simply be put back in the bottle once they regain power.
This comes shortly after the New York Times interviewed left-wing commentator Hasan Piker, who appeared to justify the cold-blooded murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO in December 2024, and expressed support for stealing from corporations as a form of resistance against capitalism.
The New York Times platformed Hasan Piker on their "The Opinions" podcast to promote theft as a form of protest. The Mao fan said, "Yeah, I’m pro-piracy all the way, like, across the board. Would you pirate a car? Yes. You know, if you could."
