Still avoiding the questionIt’s not time yet. Don’t drag your musket to the town square.
I answered the question behind the question. So leave your musket home. It's not time.Still avoiding the question
"It's not a lie if you believe it"I answered the question behind the question
I don't think that your question involved lying. The question behind the question was to bait me about vigilantism. That's just nutty. I'm not getting involved in a discussion about that."It's not a lie if you believe it"
or something

That was the lie that you might believeI answered the question behind the question. So leave your musket home. It's not time.
And that was the question you don't wish to answer, possibly because it is uncomfortable for your worldview to admit that those conditions already existWhat conditions must exist in the normal legal channels before the people turn to vigilantism? Do those conditions exist now?
No. i don't think you were lying to me. I think you really do want to justify vigilantism. If you're honest with yourself, you know that.That was the lie that you might believe
See? You are justifying it right there in your own highlighted text. I don't think those conditions exist to the extent necessary to justify what your question is really about. I think your instincts are about as wrong as they could be on this. THAT's what I'm uncomfortable with.And that was the question you don't wish to answer, possibly because it is uncomfortable for your worldview to admit that those conditions already exist
Nice bob and weave, though
Edit: The legal dictionary defines vigilantism as “taking the law into one’s own hands and attempting to effect justice according to one’s understanding of right and wrong; private enforcement of legal norms in the absence of an established, reliable, and effective law enforcement body.”

No, I think that's called domestic terrorism. Or maybe revolutionary behavior.On the "other side" isn't Antifa (and other groups) engaging in a form of vigilantism to force their beliefs? Actually, I would argue that it is more than just vigilantism when they are setting fires to buildings.

Deliberately obtuse. The lie that you apparently believe is that you in any way answered the original question (post #1155)No. i don't think you were lying to me. I think you really do want to justify vigilantism. If you're honest with yourself, you know that.
