I'm not sure there's really anyone who thinks that the terrorist attacks on shipping (i.e. the highway, i.e. the robbery) should get ignored. Obviously stopping the robbery is a good thing, as I literally just said in the message you're replying to.
Would you say that stopping the deaths of innocent people (i.e. the school shooting) is also a good thing? That's my whole point. I wouldn't think that would be all that controversial.
