I temper my emotions with reason and I see my view of state laws as dangerous. Few deserve to die more than Tsarnaev. That said, allowing the state to kill a citizen opens the door. With a few legislative moves the state can decide that having too large a magazine is death worthy
My brother is libertarian, and we have the same basis for contention on tough issues - where do you draw the line between anarchy and empowering a state that has a natural drift to more and more control of our lives?
I’m unconvinced, but I do admit I wish the author of your tag line was still around - I’d love to ask Chesterton if he’d be comfortable pulling the lever on a Tsarnaev.
