    That’s how you get feuds.

    Seriously, did you think that the people convinced they’re right taking it into their own hands would stop with you? Haven’t you seen all those parents and other relatives arguing that their kid/whatever could never have done it? Even after mountains of evidence, let alone after they’re just gunned down? Some of them don’t even care if they did it!

    And once its a social expectation that return violence will come if you retaliate, the logical next step is to wipe out the offending family. Because that’s the only way to take revenge and be safe. Shit gets bad fast.

    One of the prime benefits of our “justice” system taking over the revenge business is limiting feuds.

      Bitch if you just wanna rehash some warmed over uncle tom (the more problematic one) bullshit you’re free but I got over this ‘leviathan’ crap by the time I hit puberty and have no patience for it.

      If you got nothing better than ‘but leviathan!’ and can’t read the clauses in what I wrote, or acknowledge any of the rest of what I said (‘maybe both these things are bad’?), you can go fuck yourself, 'cuz I’m having none of it.

          What did I say, dumbass? What if we didn’t ‘solve’ the ‘killing people’ problem by killing even more people and not even getting anything out of it’?

          Can you even think of solutions to problems that do not involve murder? What do you do when you run out of cheese, or a lightbulb goes?

            How the fuck is me grabbing a rifle and shooting a fucker I’m sure killed a loved one in the head any less justice than the state deciding to hire a bite mark analyst to frame the person they want to go down for it and making sure someone’s punished so they look strong, then cooking them with a Looney toons gadget or dosing them with torture drugs til they die? That’s what you said.

            It’s less justice because it’s likely to lead to a spiral of violence.

            Just because shit’s bad doesn’t mean it can’t be worse.

        You are certifiably deranged. Some people should never have been given internet access.
