You know, this sort of thing will stop when some citizen goes off the deep-end and caps some of these little dictators. I’m not advocating it, I’m just saying that it’s going to start happening before long.
My exact thought as well
My verdict would likely be “not guilty”.
I suspect that if such a thing were to happen, and our jury system hadn't been so thoroughly undermined through the years, some such homicides might be found to fall into Ambrose Bierce's "praiseworthy" category.
