    I’m making myself groan even saying this, but this is how you create a martyr. His unreasonable followers already have chosen their narrative but you kill him and that’s all they will remember and use as an excuse for whatever comes next.

      See I would have agreed with you just a few years back, the fear of a martyr is that it will radicalize their followers. I don’t think that applies here because in their eyes he’s already surpassed martyr status
