Murder is always wrong. Vigilante justice is wrong. Violence is wrong. Plenty of people, when put to a vote, would have the majority of society deem them “unethical”.
If you want to put men to the sword based on a vote, pray you don’t get into the minority! Trump won the popular vote after all

- madaxe_again 2y agoSorry. Mea culpa entirely. “Rough day” doesn’t even begin to cover yesterday and the past week, and I am apparently acting more like an asshole than usual. No excuse, all the same.
- dang 2y agoAppreciated! It happens. I hope things have started to get better.
