oH BoY, Oh bOY! It's finally happened.
I've been hit with the "you're a fascist" line!
Advocating for mob rule to Annoying Orange trained law enforcement simply because you want to see the violent deaths of vandals is about as fascist as it gets.
Alright so listen, it's not totalitarian because it's not enforcing a law that's unfair, it's quite fair to not go around destroying public or private property for any reason, if you want it down start a petition, idk do the american thing have a vote, I can't argue against a statue being taken down via vote, but if your going around pulling stuff down illegally, get forgeted.
I'm not arguing in favor of being able to destroy statues willy-nilly, I've already made it quite clear many, many times before that I think the destruction and vandalization of public property is wrong. My point is that vigilantism and mob rule is never something law enforcement should promote and this advocacy disproportionate retribution for minor crimes further shows how absolutely skewed your and other people's priorities are here.
It is in no way reasonable to kill people for destroying public property. Your only argument towards why it's suddenly okay is because you feel it would scare citizens straight. You may not think this is a totalitarian train of thought but I don't trust your judgement.
should probably give exceptional citizens the status of "peacekeepers" and give them the authority to act as judge jury and executioner at any given moment.
This is in no way a good idea at all whatsoever. If citizens want to keep the peace, they can join the police academy and do it right. Giving citizens the rights to shoot and kill people to uphold the glorious law is pretty much how a fascist regime gets it's traction.
