“many in the north considered to be a hero”
Not enough to save him from the noose.
One more time: The point of this post is a ‘journalist’ calling for the death of people who have taken over a federal facility in protest of an issue that they feel strongly about. I think that if this ‘journalist’ were asked about John Brown, who took over a federal facility in protest of an issue that he felt strongly about, he, Chait, would consider Brown a hero.
