Thoughts and prayers are not enough.

What do you think will be "enough"?

    Removed for fomenting violence. Last warning.

    It was a tongue in cheek response, but since you asked:

    It's a personal decision. What are you willing to do to protect human rights and liberties?

    Some options include - informing friends and family, calling elected officials, protesting, refusing to pay taxes.

    informing friends and family

    I do my best.

    calling elected officials

    I've never tried that, but it's probably worthwhile.

    protesting

    You want to be arrested?

    refusing to pay taxes

    You want to go to prison?

    I won't do any of those things for the sake of a bunch of criminals. There are legitimate reasons for breaking laws, but NO ONE has yet presented me one for this case. I say let unrepentant criminals stay imprisoned until they demonstrate their willingness to respect the rights of others.
