And lest you think this is exaggerating, this guy was released after his EIGHTH arrest for stalking.

I’m not a big fan of our style of incarceration… slave labor with the constant threat of violence from staff and fellow inmates (dependent upon which facility). But this is a guy who needs to be gone. He will never stop. He has no boundaries. And is constantly being emboldened by a system that says women aren’t allowed to ever feel safe.

He needs chemical castration really. And antipsychotics.

At the very least the latter. Probably the former too.

I support corporal punishment for people like this. Cane the shit out of his ass until he can’t sit for a month.

I wonder what happens if these incels say “your body, my choice” to a woman who happens to be a CEO. 🤔

My bet is 90% chance they get some prison sentence.

You are. You are the meaning of the word incel. Look at your comment history, it’s thinly veiled tech reblogging about stuff you don’t know how to do, nitpicking, and straight up misogyny sprinkled throughout. Absolutely pathetic.

A regular woman is in the same class as a male CEO? You’re joking right? Because if you aren’t then you might be the dumbest motherfucker that I’ve ever interacted with and you’re to be taken about as seriously as a birthday clown. How can you not understand that what you said here is brutally idiotic?

I agree. My opinion that communities should determine their own standards doesn’t mean that individual men should have the right to taunt or threaten the women around them. if you threaten or harass another person, you should be at least fined for that disgusting behavior.

I go the opposite way. Boston was charged with a terrism related charge and would not have been able to be charged pre patriot act. We need more free speech rights even if asshats abuse it because this arrest is scary as fuck.

Agreed, PATRIOT was the worst piece of legislation in about 60 or 70 years.

If it’s peaceful, it’s not a revolution, it’s accountability.

The peaceful transfer of power in democracies is a peaceful revolution. That’s the entire point of elections, to change governments without fighting. If Trump and the Republicans manages to prevent either the 2026 or 2028 election they will have made peaceful change impossible.

Wait when did court systems provide justice? I thought they’ve always been a “polite” version of mob rule. (See: entire history of Spain, entire history of uk, entire history of Catholic church, history of new England, history of us / native American relations, history of us slavery, history of women’s suffrage, history of civil rights, history of abortion rights, history of gay rights, turing, history of trans rights - these are just the items in aware of)

Well, the point of the justice system was to make it so we didn’t have to apply mob rule ourselves. The system would apply consequences to bad actions. This was always going to be unequal, but it stopped functioning at all for the ultra-wealthy a while ago. Until it does again, it’s a sham and the protections they provided by giving an alternative are effectively gone. People need to see it working properly for all people for it to be trusted again and to protect everyone from vigilantism.

I’m looking for a single concrete fact that isn’t a questionable “back in the day” sentiment.

Also the mob rule I mention is the same as your definition of bad. Edited my post to add flavor.
