    I was going to say, “We should go back to killing people,” but then thought better of it. We should start killing shitty people.

    I disagree. How would killing help? It would only increase the grieving.

      this feels very “if you kill a killer then the number of killers in the world stays the same”. the thing is, it’s the number of victims that matters.

        Well, I’m not a big fan of violence in general. There has to be some more peaceful solution, or it’s not a solution in my eyes at all.

            Well I’d argue that we are not in the same situation than WW II anymore.

              then lets assume a similar situation pops up, as they do from time to time. someone is hellbent on violence, is already committing a lot of violence, and is escalating rather than stopping. How would you architect a peaceful solution to that, and what would you say to the families of the people who were killed while you were architecting that peaceful solutions. It’s all well and good to say “there has to be some more peaceful solution” but then you have to actually find it and implement it.
