On an actually serious note, it’s always deeply disconcerting how quickly people on the left pivot from effusive praise for what I do to vicious contempt for the people that I do it for, and how quickly they reveal themselves to be just as punitive and cruel as...
...the State that they constantly rail against. And even that State, with its seemingly infinite capacity for barbarism and violence, did not kill Mattieo Condoluci. It’s impossible, imo, to believe on one hand that the death penalty and mass incarceration are immoral...
...and on the other think that vigilante murder is valid, or worse, worthy of celebration. I represent, proudly, people who have often done horrible things to other people. Many of them are, themselves, victims of horrible things. Celebrating the deaths of those people is...
...to call for something WORSE than what the State does, and if your position is that there can be no rehabilitation for certain people, that they deserve no protections, that they can or should be shot in the fucking streets by anyone who gets sufficiently angry, fuck you.
At least when the State is doing it I get to cross examine the cop. What kind of justice are you calling for?
