    If it’s a legitimate assault, the male body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

    If you carry a sign reading “you deserve to be raped” then you can’t complain about being clubbed on the head, because you obviously are a waste of genetic material

      I think “you deserve to be hit over the head with a baseball bat” is an understandable response to “you deserve to be raped”.

    There was once a time when “Fighting Words” were a viable defense in cases like these, and that sign certainly qualifies as fighting words.

        Because the state has a monopoly on violence.

        You are not allowed to do violence yourself, you must petition the government to do violence for you. And the government will decide how and when it is appropriate to do violence on your behalf.

        So, for example, a white nationalist Nazi saying all women deserve to be raped is not a justifiable reason to do violence.

        But a brown person living peacefully where oil is IS reason to do violence. Ok?

        A group of people demanding that all LGBTQ+ people be sterilized or executed, no reason to do violence.

        Those people defending themselves, now we need to do violence. Got it?

        I assume you are right, but has anyone actually tried it?

        *goes to check wikipedia*

        In Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), even speech such as “Bury the removeds” and “Send the Jews back to Israel,” was held to be protected speech under the First Amendment in a per curiam decision.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fighting_words

        Oh. I guess I was right to assume that you were right in saying that it’s not a viable defense to things like that. Ugh. Depressing. I was so hoping to be wrong in assuming you’re right.

        No, he deserves to be rehabilitated in a facility that can reeducate him from his backwards beliefs.

        Unfortunately we are limited by our material conditions, so instead he gets hit with a baseball bat.

          Re-education camps are bad things even if you agree with what they’re “educating”

          You can’t apply dogma to someone by forcing it onto them. People have to come to realizations on their own. You can help them to that realization by doing a number of things that are ostensibly agnostic (offering critical thinking courses at the local library, encouraging people to learn how civics actually works, etc…)

          But you can’t just throw them in a “facility” and say “this is what we want you to believe and you’re going to sit there until you do.”

          You try your best to encourage them to your side. But if they don’t want to come, the best you can do is to mitigate the destruction their willful ignorance can do.

      This guy was absolutely asking for it.

      Literally yes. It seems people are unfamiliar with this type of grift, which was made popular by the Westboro Baptist Church. Show up somewhere and say the most inflammatory (but not directly threatening) things possible until somebody gets fed up and assaults you, then sue that person for damages.

              I don’t agree with the idea of punishing people for their parent’s crimes, they may turn out alright in spite of their relationship to their parents. That has no bearing on Marine, tho. Hope France does everything in their power to keep her away from anything that counts as influence, tho.

            “Only the good die young” logically implies that good people can live a long time, but bad people will never die young. A counterexample would be someone who was an absolute shitbag and also died young.
