- uoaei 3y ago> I can only hope there is some vigilante justice to remove those types of people from society This is a call for violence. > in what world are those people “ordinary citizens” In the world where rule of law exists and extends to providing every person the right to a fair trial.
- threatofrain 3y agoThe law must rule in order for us to effectively speak on the rule of law. The degree to which there is a vacuum of power over violence is the degree to which another force can step in.
- uoaei 3y ago"He's not playing by the rules so why should we" is a childish notion and I'm quite surprised you're tone-deaf enough to admit you hold this opinion out loud in such frank terms.
- zoklet-enjoyer 3y agoMost of my friends were drug dealers at one point in my life. I'm used to the idea of not being able to go to the police to solve disputes. These guys who are doing armed robberies know what they're getting into.
- uoaei 3y agoYes many conflicts are resolved "internally" so to speak, and the legal system effectively treats them as outlaws. That's a separate issue from uninvolved bystanders inciting violence from other previously uninvolved vigilantes. User carlgreene is effectively encouraging anyone with a gun to go out and start killing people they think are part of that outlaw group.
- carlgreene 3y agoThey admitted to the crimes? There is no trial.
- uoaei 3y agoIt's clear you have no grasp of how the legal system works.
- lobf 3y agoFor some reason I can’t reply to Carl, but fyi you still get a trial if you admit to something outside of the courtroom…
