Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?

  So the answer seems to be, to take up arms and go murder people our own personal ethics deem should be shot?

  What if that’s you? What if someone didn’t agree with your actions and what they had read online, walked up and shot you dead, is that ok?

  I don’t know your politics (and don’t really care) what if that guy had not missed, and shot Trump? That ok because trump is a cheat, a felon and will destroy a country to many people, he has d stroked lives, murdered people (via the US Military as commander and chief). There are a lot of people who think that guy should not be sent to prison.

  I’m not disagreeing, the guy who was CEO of a company murdering people… 100% agree…

  The actions however warrant good discussion on where is the line?

  However there has to be some sort of line which is social not personal or we may as just as well start the purge…

    You failed miserably here with the phrase “our own ethics”. That is the classic MAGA tactic of strawmanning the debate by forcing something on us we did not say. It was THE SOCIAL CONTACT. That isnt one person’s own ideals; it’s EVERYONE’S.

        Your question is invalid. Maybe you should reframe it more honestly.
