    Come on mate, not a lib. I was not familiar with that particular wall and saw it as a call for summary execution of bigots, which is a fucked up thing.

        You can have a leftist community, or you can treat bigots with kid gloves. You can't do both.

        Where am I advocating for use of kid gloves? Any fair and just society must treat all as equal when it comes to criminal behavior, not having separate classes where some are "more equal". Bigots trying to cause harm should see justice, as much as anyone else.

        Summary execution is not something to be lauded or celebrated. Doing so diminishes you as well as much as it does your enemies.
