How can reason justify an assassination? Despite the rationalization given for assassinating someone, in most cases, there is no logical way to substantiate the act of taking someone’s life. Moreover, there is often no seemingly logical explanation to an assassination, and when there is an explanation, it seems to all go back to the same thing: The assassin opposes the stance of their victim when it involves political, moral, religious, or cultural issues.
