if you understood me a while back you wouldn't think you are paraphrasing me. Why you think I'm wrong to keep heightened emotion from our system of justice is bewildering to me.
now, if these reprobates commit crimes, I would still insist on proper use of our system of justice.
And as undigestible as the thought might be, even a "not guilty" verdict protects both of us...
Frank,
Never said “heighten emotion” should be the basis for which justice is distributed. People started fires on purpose, burned people to death, cost untold millions (probably billions when you work in the environmental impacts). There is no redeeming value in that person. For me, a bullet makes sense. You saw it differently. Admittedly, you took the high ground.
Now it’s about dog whistles, white supremists/nazis and anti-semites. I’m only asking, are you still good with that same measuring stick? Instead of 33 fire victims, it becomes 33 gun fire victims. Still calmly line up a jury of their peers, right?
Multiply that by 10 real bad apples; now you are at 333 gunfire victims. 100 = 3,333.
You’re still good with simple orderly trials? So be it.
The country is better off without either Antifa or the PB.
Basic math of addition by subtraction.
At the end of the day, with social media working like the devil to get everybody into two camps (like Democrats & Republicans) or Antifa & Proud Boys, it all seems to just be a matter of time.
I’ll be on the sidelines. Not taking a knee, nor standing down/ready.
