Interesting take with the Luigi angle.
Violence is never justified as a means to a political end, but as far as not-directly-responsible, I'd say you missed it by a mile.
Brian Thompson (United Healthcare CEO) devised "one cool trick" where you deny claims and delay treatment until your customer dies, and then their family is too poor to sue you because you never paid out any money. If the family tries to put any responsibility on the insurance company, you just say, "But he was sick!" and you're off the hook. By transforming UnitedHealth into fake insurance, he was responsible for the denial of care to a huge number of people that no doubt increased their suffering and hastened their deaths. In return, he lined his pockets with an annual salary of eight figures... for years.
The two who lost their lives in DC were also employed by the Embassy, and therefore had some level of complicity in the crimes of their "government." It's NOT a random shooting at a house of worship or an attack on completely unrelated persons, as it is being portrayed in the media. IF the Islamic State somehow were able to open up an embassy in our Capital, and then began a horrific genocidal slaughter against the locals in Iraq and Syria, I would feel the exact same way about an attack on their officials. Same for the Taliban government of Afghanistan. Unjustified, unfortunate, but it would be wise to treat such a mission exactly like being a US Embassy Official trying to influence an AQ Emirate in Libya (or, probably Syria very soon). Maximum security at all times.
I wouldn't even say "it sucks," because it's just reality that if you take an oath and wear a uniform, or if you take an oath and become a government official that you are officially a part of that government.
The female was American-born (Kansas, it seems) with affinities towards the J-state, and was a part of some kind of "Tech2Peace" project. The male was- get this- a Christian of Russian heritage born in Germany who became infatuated with the concept of Zionist conquest and moved to the J-state and converted. Sounds very familiar to those of us who know anything about about radical extremism.
Whether they wanted to continue their embassy mission in DC to wield influence over our government or move into the bulldozed home of a Middle Easterner and raise a family on top of the graves of the locals, their lives did not deserve to be cut short.
Again- unjustified, but so is the very idea that an American can swear their allegiance to an I-state or a J-state and then simply go on-assgnment in DC.
