    I’m gonna take a guess maybe that your comment whooshed over everyone’s heads, and you meant that he’d get therapy and community service because we became a civilized and humane society, and their violent hateful faction was no more.

    Am I way off or is that kinda what you were going for? Because I dunno in a way it sounded wholesome. Envisioning a world so much better that we can hope to mercifully rehabilitate these monsters because their venom ceased to be a threat.

    I want to see that world, too…

    …rather than the world where they get to do what they dream of doing to us.

      The United States is a fascist police state and always has been. The people in the replies below are fine with that as long as they get to pick who the government mistreats.

      The problem with that is that someday the “wrong” person will be back in charge, and they get to use all the power of the authoritarian state. The only thing to do is to take the power to kill people away from the government entirely.

        Some people are too evil to allow their continued existence. Miller is one such person. He will likely spew hatred until the day he dies, voluntarily or not.

        Genuine question: What would you do with Miller?

          I believe in restorative justice. The idea is that criminals should try to restore the wrong that they’ve done.

          I don’t pretend to have all the answers. Maybe some people are incorrigible. But people saying to “Put a bullet in his head” are working from the same fascist playbook as he is, and that won’t solve anything.
