yes. obviously they should die for words they speak. you are a wise and just person.

:) i think he's suggesting we turn people who talk a big game, into people who have no choice but to live a big game.

yes lets turn these people into those with no other choice but crime.

... come on now... think about that for a second.

... aren't some of their job prospects basically nil at this point? if that's not permanent damage, i don't know what is.

Also, as i've stated above somewhere, i trust my mob justice, it's the rest of you mooks i don't trust.

and do you really want to depend on the judgement of an aggrieved and protective parent to be fair and considered toward an aggressor?

and i'm dreading the day the troll exposed really is an adolescent boy that's thereafter exposed to the aggregate punishment of a nation. It will happen; apparently schilling held back names, what happens when the next guy doesn't?

will they still feel righteous then? brendan eich was fired for a thousand dollar political contribution... is it really so far fetched?

...

please, for the love of all that's holy... don't refer to it as the turn of the century.

if it's not a crime, it should be.

dear lord, i fell down the rabbit hole.... wtf is a micro-aggression? have they honestly criminalized the minor friction of diversity? god, being teasingly offensive is like the spice of life.

i can honestly say, i'm a liberal, but the left has left me. dear lord.

doesn't even need to go that far.

if you've never done or said a single thing in your life that would offend a part of the population the size of "your boss doesn't feel like dealing with this shit." ... then you're honestly a damn saint... and i don't think there are that many saints running around.

:) i personally love it how the same people who would argue for the rehabilitative ideal of the prison system are the same ones that are out for blood in these circumstances.

... just as me giving you money for killing someone is perfectly morally sound. The only guilty party is the person accepting the money to kill someone. It's been so obvious this entire time.

just as child soldiers are the only ones to blame for shooting civilians and not the warlords that trained them to do it... free will obviously absolves the warlords of all guilt... good to know.

and hell, you know what? if i hold a gun to a man's head to commit a mass murder, i'd only be guilty of kidnapping and not of the mass murder. because obviously, the man could have made the choice to die instead... because anything done by proxy obviously absolves the person at the end of all guilt.

yes, straw men, but the point stands. just because the violence is done by proxy, does not absolve the instigator of guilt.

This baseball pitcher is directly responsible for the damage to those two guy's lives. He obviously made the judgement call that ruining the lives of 7 others was not worth it. By his discretion we know he knew the potential consequences of his actions.

  You may think that it is a justified response, and that the consequences to those particular gentlemen were commensurate with their "crime," and i won't argue with your opinion on the matter, but that's an entirely separate issue. The former pitcher is just as guilty for his retaliation as they are for actions retaliated against.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that the internet is a cesspit, and when you wade through the muck you can't reasonably get angry at the filth.

incitement to violence is a crime.

And by that logic if i pay for an assassination all guilt falls on the assassin, none on me. good to know.

If i know my followers are prone to attacks, which you know, the unruly mob kind of is, and are just waiting for a target to act... and i provide them with the details of a target knowing full well that it may, and or is likely to, lead to destruction of property or personal injury... I am guilty of knowingly aiding in violence toward others. morally and legally i am not in safe waters.

:) it's not either or, the ones who commit the deeds, as well as the ones who ordered the hit are generally culpable.

and self-defense can still lead to a manslaughter charge. because proportionality is a thing.

yeah, but guess what? apparently that's the society we live in. That slippery slope back there we fell down involved donald sterling losing a billion dollars over a 30 second sound clip, and brendan eich losing his job over donating $1000 to a ballot measure.

Boy, i'm afraid of the law, but i'm more afraid of the fickle, unfeeling and intensely aggressive nature of this new court of public opinion. There is no proportionality.

teach people to think twice before speaking in a private context, or donating money to political campaigns with even a hint of controversy.

this is a whole new world, and the only defense you reliably have is to never do anything that could possibly catch the ire of the mob.

i don't agree with either sterling or eichs positions, but dammit, the mob lynching them for expressing themselves is just as bad as government censorship.

*sterling should have been kicked out, but not for that

fire moat. solved that for you,

award please.

... words fail me... i hate facebook just a little less now.

This is a good world.
