    I’m not for capital punishment, but they should have just killed these guys.

      You remove them by putting them in jail. Allowing capital punishment for anyone inevitably allows it for innocents. It is a weapon of the state, and should not be tolerated under any circumstances.

      The problem wasn’t the incarceration of Proud Boys, it was the lack of incarceration for the fascists who enabled them.

        Yeah, let’s just keep taking the moral high road. Eventually shitty people will just stop existing. There’s no reason to actively work on removing them. 🥴

        Shit will keep flowing into a sewage treatment plant if you don’t treat the sewage. In the end you just end up with a mountain of shit to deal with and the problem is much more difficult to manage.

            I think it’s moreso that people misunderstand what you’re implying. That making them “martyrs” is a good thing to help identify more pieces of shit that rally behind their martyrdom.
