        So what do you wanna do if there’s a bunch of fascists that want to execute everyone they don’t like? You let them?

          IIUC, execution is a punishment.

          While you might use force—even deadly force—to deal with certain lethal threats, you don’t punish somebody for what you think they might do.

          FWIW and on a related topic: wp:Killing baby Hitler.

            You’d probably have been friends with Neville Chamberlain. Im obviously not suggesting punishing THOUGHT CRIME, but when someone openly declares they want you dead, because of what YOU think, what do you think you should do? Sit down and have a nice long talk?
