And only one side is shooting people in the face with rubber bullets. I’m pretty concerned that our government is using deadly force against protestors and violently attacking curfew breakers.

I see faults and virtue everywhere. I prefer to look for common ground, so that we can try to unite as a people with respect and mutual understanding.

I am very concerned about governments using lethal force against their citizenry. I think we need to watch very carefully for the difference between keeping the peace and authoritarian governmental overstep.

What behavior do you think warrants you being executed by your government?

I will rephrase. What behavior warrants your government employees using lethal force against you?

Ad hominem. I thought this was a debate site that valued quality of discussion.

We have a very detailed code detailing what punishments are merited by what crimes. I have indicated an extreme concern over the government’s use of lethal force against civilians. Are you arguing now that ANY form of violence should be met with lethal force?
