  • It’s not dumb to call out apologetic framing in commentary. This dude doesn’t need kid gloves, and what other people like him need is a very clear description of what’s right and wrong here. This isn’t a grey area. If you go out and use your personal firearm to police other people, you are a vigilante. If you don’t think you are engaging in vigilantism, you are delusional.

    Main stream news should be responsible enough to call a spade a spade in these cases.

    Some grandma being lawfully evicted from their home is violence.

    This isn’t a discussion about pillaging on horseback, it’s a discussion about how regulatory capture, predatory businesses, and other exploitation is morally similar to pillaging on horseback. Not a discussion about a tied up hostage with a gun to their head, it’s about how the threat of homelessness is the gun, you are a hostage.
